Summary:
ZIP code 54847 has exactly one elementary school, Iron River Elementary in Maple School District, serving grades PK–5 with 95 students in a small Wisconsin community. Because it is the only elementary school in the ZIP, it is the standout by default, and the best comparisons are to its district, the state, and its own prior performance. The data includes district and school ranking history, chronic absenteeism, Forward Exam proficiency in ELA, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science, free/reduced-price lunch, per-student spending, and student-teacher ratio.
In 2025–2026, 5th grade Mathematics was exceptionally strong at 92.86%, compared with 54.95% in the district and 51.81% statewide. 5th grade ELA was also well above average at 78.57%, versus 68.13% district and 53.63% state. In 2024–2025, 5th grade ELA was 91.67% and Mathematics was 83.33%, and 3rd grade Mathematics was 87.5%, far above district and state. 4th grade Social Studies was 62.5% in 2025–2026, near the district’s 64.2% and the state’s 65.51%, and it was 70.59% in 2024–2025. Context metrics: 37.89% free/reduced lunch, $13,659 per student, and a 15.3:1 student-teacher ratio.
The latest year also shows serious concerns. 4th grade Science dropped to 0% in 2025–2026, far below the district’s 45.68% and the state’s 53.46%, and down from 58.82% the prior year. 3rd grade ELA was 20%, versus 52.48% district and 52.08% state, and 4th grade Mathematics was 37.5%, versus 48.15% district and 52.87% state. Chronic absenteeism was 18.9%, above the district’s 12.6% and the state’s 17.3%. The school’s latest ranking fell to 2 stars and the 39th percentile, after 3 stars and the 68th percentile in 2024–2025, and it is now below the district’s 59th percentile and 3 stars. With only 95 students PK–5, percentages are volatile, so next year’s results will show whether this is a one-year dip or a broader trend.
