Summary:
The 54837 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, Frederic Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 189 students. Frederic Elementary is part of the Frederic School District, which is ranked 198 out of 426 school districts in Wisconsin and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Frederic Elementary's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on the Forward Exam, is mixed compared to state averages. While the school excels in certain subject areas and grade levels, it also struggles in others. For example, in 2024-2025, 3rd grade ELA proficiency was 48.28% compared to the state average of 52.14%, while 5th grade ELA proficiency was 63.64% compared to the state average of 51.26%. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% is relatively high, which could be a contributing factor to its academic performance.
Frederic Elementary's fluctuating statewide ranking and star rating from SchoolDigger indicate that the school's performance is not consistent over time, and it may be facing some challenges in maintaining a high level of academic excellence. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (55.56%) suggests that it serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may impact student learning and achievement. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, the academic outcomes do not necessarily reflect this investment.
