Denmark Elementary, Denmark WI - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Denmark Elementary

Denmark Elementary serves students from first through fifth grade in the Denmark School District, a public regular school located in the small Brown County village of Denmark. The school enrolls a student body that is predominantly White, with a modest share of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Information about the share of students with individualized education plans or English learner status was not available in the data; a parent may want to ask the school directly about special education and language support services.

State testing results for the Wisconsin Forward assessment show a solid overall performance across grades three through five. In math, the proportion of students scoring proficient or above rises across the grades, and in English language arts the results are generally strong, with one grade level showing a slightly lower result that a family might wish to explore further. Fourth-grade science and social studies results are notably high. When compared with other districts in Brown County, Denmark Elementary’s composite proficiency index sits above the midpoint, indicating that the school holds a competitive academic position among its county peers.

As an elementary school, Denmark Elementary has no graduation rate to report, which is typical for this grade band. Chronic absenteeism data and discipline data were also absent from the available information, so a fuller picture of attendance patterns and school climate would require a conversation with the school.

The school is part of the Denmark School District, which also includes a middle school, a high school, and an alternative program. No recent district-level developments or program expansions were found in publicly reported sources, so families may want to follow district communications for any upcoming changes.

The village of Denmark itself is a small community in Brown County, part of the Green Bay metropolitan area. Its economy historically relied on dairy and cheese production, though a major cheese plant closed, shifting local employment toward banking, manufacturing, and agricultural cooperatives. The village has a historic downtown area and a recreational trail converted from a former rail line. Interstate 43 runs just west of the village, offering a direct connection to Green Bay to the north and Manitowoc and Milwaukee to the south. Population has grown modestly over recent decades. Housing values in the area are above the state median, and the local housing market reflects a typical small-town mix of single-family homes and some rental properties.

For a family considering Denmark Elementary, the school offers a strong academic record relative to its county peers, set in a small, close-knit village with basic amenities and regional highway access. The student population is not highly diverse, and the share of economically disadvantaged students is modest. The lack of detailed data on special populations, attendance, and programming means that families with specific needs should gather more information directly from the school. This is a solid public elementary school in a stable, rural-adjacent community.

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.
