Summary:
Zip code 54986 is served by a single elementary school, Winneconne Elementary, which enrolls 823 students in grades PK–5 and belongs to the Winneconne Community School District. Because there is only one elementary school in this area, this is a detailed profile of that school rather than a comparison among local options.
The numbers point to a strong school in a strong district. The Winneconne Community School District ranks 24th of 432 districts in Wisconsin, placing it at the 94th percentile with a 5-star rating. Winneconne Elementary ranked 124th of 1,039 state schools in 2025–2026, an 88th percentile finish with 4 stars, after ranking 105th (5 stars) in 2024–2025 and 77th (5 stars) in 2023–2024. The school beat the state proficiency rate in every listed test comparison across both years — the narrowest margin was 4th-grade science in 2025–2026, at 8.52 points above state. Chronic absenteeism is 10.4%, well below the state's 17.3% and essentially even with the district's 10.3%. Class sizes are modest, with a 13.4 student-teacher ratio and $11,754 in per-student spending, and 20.41% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.
Two things are worth watching. The school's rank has slipped over three years, from 77th to 105th to 124th, though it remains in the top 12% statewide. More notably, 5th grade is the relative weak point in the latest year: both ELA and math sat at 64.75%, with math down 17.98 points and ELA down 12.52 points from the prior year. By contrast, 4th grade improved in ELA, math, and social studies, and early-grade margins remain the largest, with 3rd-grade ELA 33.08 points above state. Overall, families here get above-state academics, low absenteeism, and a favorable student-teacher ratio.
