Summary
THINK Academy-Together Helping INspire Kids is a PK–5 elementary school with 202 students in Rudolph, Wisconsin, part of the Wisconsin Rapids School District. The school stands out largely because of its context: the district ranks 316th of 432 districts statewide (27th percentile, 1 star), while THINK Academy ranks 384th of 1,039 elementary schools in 2025–2026 (63rd percentile, 3 stars) — a 36-percentile-point gap above its own district. Its rank history shows fluctuation but generally above-district performance, from a 90th-percentile peak in 2015–2016 down to a 51st-percentile dip in 2022–2023 and back to 63rd–65th over the last two years.
Core academics are a genuine strength. In 2025–2026, every tested grade in English language arts and math scored above both district and state averages. Averaged across grades 3–5, ELA proficiency is about 60.3%, compared with 53.0% in the district and 53.2% statewide, and math averages about 62.4%, compared with 51.8% district and 53.1% state. The main weak spot this year is fourth-grade social studies at 59.09%, below the district's 63.64% and the state's 65.51%; science came in at 59.09%, above state but below district. Both subjects were much stronger in 2024–2025 (78.13% social studies, 75% science), which suggests the dip may be specific to this cohort rather than a lasting decline. Locally, THINK sits behind Grant Elementary and Washington Elementary but ahead of Madison Elementary, Howe Elementary, Kennedy Elementary and most other nearby schools.
Two other factors are worth weighing. Chronic absenteeism was 18.1% in 2024–2025 — slightly above the state's 17.3% and just below the district's 18.4%, but far higher than nearby Grant (7.1%), Washington (6.4%), Port Edwards Educational Heuer Elementary School (5.9%) and Kennedy (8.2%). Per-student spending was $15,567, mid-pack locally and above Grant's $14,460, while the student/teacher ratio of 13.4 is similar to Grant and Woodside Elementary but higher than Grove Elementary, Mead Elementary, Howe, Madison and Washington. About 36% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, lower than most same-district peers. In subgroup rankings, low-income students placed at the 77th percentile and female and male students both at the 63rd.
