Randolph Elementary stands out for strong academics. In 2025–2026, it ranked 177th out of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools—the 83rd percentile with 4 stars—up from 235th in 2024–2025 and 333rd in 2023–2024. In 2025–2026, it was above the state average in all eight reported Forward Exam tests. Fourth grade was especially strong: 88% proficient in social studies, 84% in science, and 76% in math. Fifth grade math was 72.41%, and fourth grade English language arts was 72.00%. In 2024–2025, the school was above state in six of eight tests; the exceptions were fifth grade ELA and math, both at 46.15%.
Other important context: chronic absenteeism is low at 8.3%, compared with 14.6% in the district and 17.3% statewide. The student–teacher ratio is 11.1, per-student spending is $15,066, and 34.36% of students receive free or reduced lunch. With only 195 students, grade-level cohorts are small, so year-to-year percentage changes can be affected by a few students. The district overall ranks 185th of 432 districts, but the elementary school’s rank percentile is higher. Overall, Randolph Elementary is a small, high-performing school with particular strengths in fourth grade science, social studies, and math.
