Summary

Coloma Elementary is a small PK–5 school in the rural village of Coloma, Wisconsin, serving about 100 students as part of the Westfield School District. Its statewide rank for 2025–2026 is 750th of 1,039 elementary schools — the 28th percentile, 1 star. The biggest story here is a long-term slide: Coloma was in the 97th–98th percentile in 2020–2021 and 2021–2022, then fell to the 74th, 67th, 50th, and now 28th percentile in successive years. Within its own district, Coloma was historically the standout, but in 2025–2026 Oxford Elementary ranks higher and Westfield Elementary is close behind.

Current test results are highly uneven. Third grade math is a genuine bright spot at 86.67% proficient — far above the district and state, and much higher than nearby schools, which ranged from about 23% to 57%. Fifth grade ELA at 57.14% is also above the state average. Fourth grade, however, is a clear weak spot across every subject: ELA 18.75%, math 31.25%, science 25%, and social studies 50%, all below district and state, with science the lowest among nearby schools. How well the school serves specific student groups has also dropped sharply. Low-income students, who make up 47% of enrollment, fell from the 84th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 23rd percentile in 2025–2026. Female and male student rankings fell from around the 60th–65th percentile to the 19th–25th.

Chronic absenteeism was 17.1% in 2024–2025, similar to district and state rates but higher than several stronger nearby schools such as Forest Lane Community School (5.4%), Wild Rose Elementary (6.9%), and Oxford Elementary (8.2%). Coloma spends the least per student among its neighbors ($13,373), yet has a favorable 11.1:1 student-teacher ratio. With only about 100 students, a few children can swing a grade-level rate by many percentage points, so single-year results should be read with caution. Even so, the multi-year rank decline and the broad drop in subgroup effectiveness suggest school-wide challenges rather than a one-year dip.
