Summary:

ZIP code 54703 has eight elementary schools, all in the Eau Claire Area School District, enrolling about 2,554 students. Most serve grades K–5, while Chippewa Valley Montessori Charter School serves PK–5. Enrollment ranges from 215 students at Roosevelt Elementary to 502 at Sherman Elementary, and school results vary widely even though they share one district.

Northwoods Elementary is the top current performer, with the highest composite proficiency (62.6%), the best Social Studies (76.32%) and Science (65.79%) scores, and a 3-star rating at the 65th percentile. Chippewa Valley Montessori Charter School also earns 3 stars and has the lowest chronic absenteeism (4.1%). Davey Elementary and Sherman Elementary are steady 3-star schools with strong math and low absenteeism. Roosevelt Elementary and Locust Lane Elementary improved each year, though both show weaker 5th-grade results.

Longfellow Elementary ranks lowest — 1 star, 20th percentile — and has the highest free/reduced lunch rate (64.83%), highest spending ($21,045), and high absenteeism (15.0%). Lakeshore Elementary is 2 stars with the highest absenteeism (16.4%). Math is the weak spot across the group: the eight-school average falls below the state in grades 3–5 math, while ELA, Social Studies, and Science averages are above the state. Attendance tracks with outcomes in most cases, but Northwoods shows high poverty (51.97% free/reduced lunch) and 12.6% absenteeism alongside top results, and spending does not simply predict achievement.
