Summary:
Zip code 54474 in Rothschild, Wisconsin is served by two elementary schools — Evergreen Elementary (K–5, 450 students) and Rothschild Elementary (PK–5, 408 students) — both part of the D C Everest Area School District, which ranks 210 of 432 districts in Wisconsin at the 51st percentile with 3 stars. Both schools earned 3 stars in 2025-26, so families here are choosing between two similar-rated options with different strengths rather than a clear winner and a clear struggler.
Evergreen Elementary holds the stronger overall standing, ranking above Rothschild in all three years and reaching the 63rd percentile in 2025-26 (388 of 1,039). Its clearest academic bright spot is 4th grade science: 63.01% proficient in 2025-26 and 65.67% in 2024-25, above both the district and the state each year, and 25.51 points ahead of Rothschild in 2025-26. Evergreen's math results are also consistently well above the state, and its 5th grade ELA rebounded from 34.07% to 53.73%. Rothschild Elementary has the stronger upward trajectory, climbing from 2 stars and the 41st percentile in 2023-24 to 3 stars and the 54th percentile in 2025-26 — a 148-position gain. Its 2025-26 3rd grade results are the standout: 72% proficient in ELA and 78% in math, well above district and state.
Both schools keep chronic absenteeism remarkably low — Rothschild at 4.5% and Evergreen at 5.9%, compared with 10.9% districtwide and 17.3% statewide — and Rothschild's rate is especially notable given its higher free/reduced-lunch share (40.93% vs. 28.67%) and higher per-student spending ($14,298 vs. $13,302). Grade-level scores swing noticeably from year to year, particularly at Rothschild, where 4th grade math, science, and social studies all declined in 2025-26 and social studies leadership flipped between the two schools. In short, Evergreen offers stronger aggregate results and science, while Rothschild offers rapid improvement, excellent early-grade reading and math, and the lowest absenteeism.
