Summary

McLane Elementary is a K–4 school in West Bend, Wisconsin, serving about 340 students in the West Bend School District. It is a 4-star school ranked 264th of 1,039 elementary schools statewide in 2025–2026, placing it in the 75th percentile, while the district ranks 125th of 432 districts (71st percentile). That is above the district overall, but it reflects a cooling from recent years: McLane was at the 89th percentile in 2024–2025 and consistently in the 95th–99th percentile from 2016–2017 through 2020–2021. Attendance is a standout strength — chronic absenteeism was 2.3% in 2024–2025, compared with 8.8% for the district and 17.3% for the state.

Within West Bend, McLane ranks second among elementary schools, just behind Jackson Elementary (76th percentile) and ahead of Fair Park Elementary (66th), Decorah Elementary (60th), and Green Tree Elementary (58th). Among nearby out-of-district schools, however, it sits more in the middle: Slinger Elementary is at the 99th percentile, Farmington Elementary at 97th, Allenton Elementary at 95th, Addison Elementary at 87th, and Kewaskum Elementary at 79th. Fourth grade is McLane's clearest strength, leading all same-district peers in ELA (64.71% proficient), math (72.06%), social studies (77.94%), and science (70.59%), all above district and state averages. Third grade is above district and state in ELA (60.27%) and math (60.81%) but less dominant locally.

Subgroup effectiveness shows the largest shifts in 2025–2026. Female students rank at the 88th percentile (4 stars), while male students fell to the 62nd from the 92nd. Students with disabilities dropped to the 49th percentile (2 stars) from the 89th in 2024–2025 and the 95th in 2023–2024 — the most pronounced change. Low-income students fell to the 61st percentile from the 84th. On resources, McLane spends $15,834 per student, the lowest among district elementary peers but well above nearby out-of-district schools, with a 13.4 student-teacher ratio and a 35.29% free/reduced lunch rate.
