Summary:
ZIP code 54651 has just one elementary school in the available data: Norwalk-Ontario-Wilton Elementary, at 28861 Highway 131 N in Ontario, WI. It serves grades PK–6 with 322 students and is part of the Norwalk-Ontario-Wilton School District, which ranks 263 of 432 districts statewide (39th percentile, 2 stars). With only one school here, the most useful comparisons are to the district, the state, and the school's own past years.
The clearest strength is attendance: in 2024–2025 chronic absenteeism was 5.6%, well below the district's 6.6% and roughly one-third of the state's 17.3%, even though 59.01% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Fourth grade Social Studies is a current academic bright spot at 75% proficient, above the state's 65.51% and up from 59.52% the year before. The school also improved its overall rating from 741 of 1044 schools (29th percentile, 1 star) in 2024–2025 to 652 of 1039 (37th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–2026, though it has not returned to its 2023–2024 mark of 546 of 1061 (49th percentile).
Math is the main area of concern: all four tested grades fell below the state in 2025–2026, with 5th grade at 33.33% proficient versus 51.81% statewide and a school average roughly 8 points below the state. English Language Arts is mixed — 3rd grade was above the state at 54.84% vs. 52.08%, but 5th grade lagged at 42.22% vs. 53.63%. Science improved from 42.86% to 47.92% but remains below the state's 53.46%. The school spends $16,124 per student with a student-teacher ratio of 11.8. Grade-level swings may reflect small cohorts, so year-to-year results should be read cautiously.
