Tiffany Creek Elementary, Boyceville WI

Original Research by School Decision on Tiffany Creek Elementary

Tiffany Creek Elementary serves students from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in the Boyceville Community School District, a small rural village in Dunn County with deep roots in agriculture and logging. The school sits within the village itself, not on a remote campus, and shares the community’s character: quiet, tight-knit, and car-dependent, with a public library, parks, and an annual Cucumber Festival as civic anchors. The district has seen no major recent changes publicly reported, so the school’s operations reflect a stable local institution.

Academically, Tiffany Creek Elementary performed solidly on Wisconsin’s Forward assessments. Across the tested grades and subjects, the school’s overall proficiency rate places it in the top quarter among the four districts in Dunn County, a strong showing. In English language arts, a clear majority of third and fourth graders met the proficient threshold, while fifth-grade results were lower but still above half. Math proficiency was highest in fifth grade and third grade, with a smaller majority proficient; fourth-grade math was the softest spot, where about half of students scored proficient. Fourth-grade science and social studies both showed strong majorities reaching proficiency. The pattern suggests that the school provides a generally effective foundation, with some variation by grade and subject that a parent may want to discuss with the school to understand how support is targeted.

The student body is modest in size and predominantly white, with a substantial share of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school’s population reflects the demographics of the surrounding rural community. No data was available on the share of students receiving special education services or English learner support, so it is not possible to characterize those dimensions. The school is a regular public elementary, not a charter or magnet, and it appears to be the sole elementary within the district, feeding into the combined middle and high school building elsewhere in the village.

Boyceville itself has seen slow, incremental population growth and rising home values. Housing costs are moderately priced relative to the broader state and national markets, and the village is almost entirely car-dependent with a short average commute. The elementary school sits on a village street within walking distance of homes in the core, and the library and parks are nearby. For families, this means a neighborhood school in a setting where daily life revolves around the village rather than a regional hub.

Tiffany Creek Elementary fits families who want a small-town, community-anchored elementary school in a rural part of western Wisconsin. The academic track record is above the county average, especially in literacy and science, while math at fourth grade is an area a parent might ask about. There are no high school or career pathway programs to consider at this level; the school’s role is to build the early academic foundation. The lack of recent district changes suggests continuity. For a parent looking at Boyceville, the elementary is a stable part of village life with a functional academic record and the typical attributes of a rural public school: modest size, limited walkability, and a close relationship between the school and the community it serves.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
