Academically, the school has strengths and challenges. In 2025–26 it ranked 668 of 1,039 schools, or the 36th percentile, with 2 stars; that is up from 28th percentile/1 star in 2023–24 and 31st percentile/2 stars in 2024–25. The district is at the 23rd percentile with 1 star. Math averages are above the district in both years but below the state. Fourth-grade math is a standout at 56.25% proficient, 22.57 percentage points above the district and 3.38 points above the state, while fifth-grade math is 33.33%, below both. ELA is the clearest challenge: school averages are below district and state in both years. Third-grade ELA is 30.77%, 15.16 points below the district and 21.31 points below the state. Fifth-grade ELA improved from 25% to 38.89%, but remains below district and state. Fourth-grade ELA improved to 50%, above the district but slightly below the state. Science and social studies were 2025–26 highlights: fourth-grade science reached 62.5%, above district 48.7% and state 53.46%, and social studies reached 68.75%, above district 61.14% and state 65.51%.

Chronic absenteeism was 16.4% in 2024–25, below the district’s 25.6% and slightly below the state’s 17.3%. The free/reduced lunch rate is 55.38%, per-student spending is $14,149, and the student-teacher ratio is 12.2. With only 65 students across grades 2–5, grade-level percentages can move a lot with a few students, so year-to-year changes should be read cautiously. Overall, Camp Douglas Elementary shows improving rankings, low chronic absenteeism, and recent strengths in fourth-grade science, social studies, and math, but ELA remains the main challenge and overall performance is still below the Wisconsin state average.
