Summary

Stettin Elementary is a K–5 school in Wausau, Wisconsin, serving 327 students as part of the Wausau School District, which ranks 241st of 432 districts statewide (44th percentile, 2 stars). Stettin has historically performed well above that district profile, earning 4 stars and landing in the 86th–89th percentile of Wisconsin elementary schools in each year from 2021–2022 through 2024–2025. In 2025–2026, the school placed 334th of 1,039 schools (68th percentile, 3 stars) — still above the district average, but below its own recent standard.

That single-year dip appears driven by one grade rather than by the whole school. Fifth grade is a clear standout: 83.33% of students were proficient in English language arts and 86.36% in math, higher than every nearby school, including South Mountain Elementary (76.92% ELA, 60% math) and Rib Mountain Elementary (50% ELA, 57.69% math). Fourth grade is also strong, with 68.63% ELA, 58.82% math, 76.47% social studies, and 64.71% science — above district and state in most subjects. Third grade is the weak point at 35.29% ELA and 43.14% math, both below district and state averages. Averaged across grades 3–5, Stettin's proficiency (about 62.4% ELA and 62.8% math) still beats district and state.

Among nearby ranked Wausau elementaries, Stettin places third, behind South Mountain and Rib Mountain but ahead of most others, while operating with the lowest per-student spending ($11,703) and the highest student–teacher ratio (18.8) among traditional district elementary peers. Chronic absenteeism was 10.8% in 2024–2025, better than the district's 15.2% and the state's 17.3%, though Rib Mountain (6.3%) and South Mountain (8.0%) do better. The free/reduced lunch rate has risen to 37.92%, up from 27.66% in 2022–2023. One notable strength: students with disabilities ranked in the 92nd percentile statewide in 2024–2025 (5 stars), a major gain from the 23rd percentile in 2021–2022.
