Summary:
ZIP code 54428 in Elcho, Langlade County, Wisconsin contains exactly one elementary school — Elcho Elementary, a PK–5 building with 127 students that serves as the elementary campus of the Elcho School District.
Elcho Elementary just posted its strongest year in the data set. In 2025-26 its 4th graders beat the state average in all four subjects tested: 78.57% proficient in English Language Arts (state 53.87%), 71.43% in math (52.87%), 85.71% in social studies (65.51%) and 78.57% in science (53.46%). Across all eight grade-level and subject measures, seven were at or above the Wisconsin average, up from only three the year before, and the school climbed from the 34th to the 68th percentile in state rankings — a 3-star rating that far outpaces its own district's 2-star, 40th-percentile result.
The one weak spot is 5th grade math, where 35.29% of students were proficient against a state average of 51.81% — the only measure trailing Wisconsin. Math generally swings more than reading here, and proficiency drops sharply between 4th and 5th grade, so that transition is worth watching. Families should also know that 49.61% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, chronic absenteeism runs 22.5% (above the 17.3% state rate but below the district's 25.0%), per-student spending is $16,173, and the student-teacher ratio is a favorable 11.5 to 1. With only 127 students, one or two children can move a percentage by several points, so the broad pattern of improvement matters more than any single number.
