Summary
Weston Elementary is a PK–6 public school in Cazenovia, WI, serving 117 students in the Weston School District, a district ranked 326 of 432 statewide (25th percentile, 1 star). In 2024-25, 59.83% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch. The school spends $23,052 per student—the most among nearby schools—and has a low student-teacher ratio of 10.0. In 2025-26, Weston Elementary ranked 716 of 1,039 Wisconsin schools (31st percentile, 2 stars), up slightly from 27th percentile in 2024-25 but below its 50th percentile in 2023-24. Chronic absenteeism was 7.1%, much lower than the district’s 19.6% and the state’s 17.3%.
Academically, results are mixed and vary a lot by grade. Fourth grade is the bright spot: 58.82% proficient in ELA and math, and 64.71% in science, which is above Wisconsin’s 53.46% science average and above most nearby schools except Hillsboro Elementary at 76.47%. In contrast, fifth grade is the biggest concern, with 21.43% proficiency in ELA and 28.57% in math—both far below state averages, and the 5th-grade ELA rate is the lowest among nearby schools reporting it. Third- and sixth-grade ELA and math are also below the state, while 4th-grade social studies (64.71%) is near the state average but below Richland Center Intermediate School (83.58%). With only 117 students, small grade cohorts can make year-to-year scores swing sharply.
Compared with nearby schools, Weston Elementary has more resources and better attendance than most, but its overall rank is lower than Hillsboro Elementary (57th percentile), Richland Center Intermediate School (51st), Prairie Ridge Intermediate (49%), and North Freedom Elementary (45%), though it outranks Tower Rock Elementary (26th) and Ithaca Elementary (28th). Subgroup effectiveness has weakened: female and male students rank in the 18th–19th percentile, and low-income students rank 34th percentile in 2025-26, down from 67th in 2023-24. The school’s strengths—strong attendance and some 4th-grade success—have not yet translated into consistent academic growth across all grades and student groups.
