Summary

Wheatland Center Elementary is a PK–8 public school serving 644 students in the Wheatland J1 School District in Burlington, WI, a small community in western Racine County between Milwaukee and Lake Geneva. Its most recent 2025–2026 rank is 525 of 1,039 Wisconsin schools (49th percentile, 2 stars), a dip from 3 stars and the 56th–60th percentile range in the four prior years, and well below its peak of 4 stars and the 85th–87th percentile in 2015–16 and 2016–17.

The school has a split academic personality. Its middle-school grades are a genuine strength: 7th grade reached 72.13% proficiency in ELA and 68.85% in math, and 8th grade hit 75.81% in ELA, 69.35% in math, 75.81% in social studies and 66.13% in science—all well above state averages and, in 8th grade, above every nearby PK–8 school in all four subjects. That includes Randall Consolidated School, just 1.85 miles away, which is ranked much higher overall (82nd percentile, 4 stars) but trails Wheatland in 7th and 8th grade. The early grades are the weak spot: 3rd grade ELA was 50.00% (state 52.08%) and 4th grade math 43.24% (state 52.87%), below the state and most nearby schools.

Operationally, Wheatland has made real progress. Chronic absenteeism fell from 35.4% in 2021–22 to 9.6% in 2024–25—now far below Wisconsin's 17.3%—and the dropout rate is 0.0%. It does this with the lowest per-student spending ($13,307) and one of the highest student–teacher ratios (15.5) among nearby schools; Star Center Elementary has a ratio of 11.5 and Randall Consolidated School 12.2. Subgroup results are a concern: students with disabilities and low-income students both rank at the 39th percentile (2 stars). The biggest opportunities are early literacy, 4th-grade math, and closing those subgroup gaps.
