Weston Elementary, Weston WI - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Weston Elementary

Weston Elementary is a regular public school serving students from prekindergarten through fifth grade within the D.C. Everest Area School District. It sits in the village of Weston, a community that blends residential neighborhoods with commercial and industrial zones. The village has grown steadily over recent decades, though the pace has slowed, and the built environment is car dependent. Weston maintains a system of parks and is home to the Central Wisconsin Airport. The district itself undertook a significant facilities investment in the past few years: voters approved a referendum to construct a new middle school and carry out district‑wide renovations and safety upgrades, and a new community center with athletic and wellness spaces opened in 2024. For a family considering this area, these additions signal a district that is modernizing its physical plant.

The school enrolls a student body that is moderate in size for an elementary covering PK through fifth grade. A substantial share of students qualify for free or reduced‑price lunch, which many families take as a marker of the school’s socioeconomic composition. The racial and ethnic makeup is diverse: the largest groups are White students and Asian students, with smaller shares of Hispanic, Black, and multiracial students, and a handful of American Indian or Alaska Native students. Data on students with disabilities and English learners was not reported in the available profile, so a parent may want to ask the school directly about those supports.

State assessment results are available for grades three through five in math, English language arts, science, and social studies. Performance varies across grades and subjects. In math, proficiency rates rise as students move up, with the fifth‑grade cohort reaching a notably higher level than the third‑ or fourth‑grade groups. In ELA, the pattern is similar: the share of students meeting proficiency climbs by fifth grade. Science and social studies are tested only in fourth grade; about half of fourth graders scored proficient or above in science, and a somewhat larger share did so in social studies. When compared to the set of districts in Marathon County, the school’s overall proficiency across tested subjects and grades sits below the midpoint of that group. That comparison is a broad one, but it places Weston Elementary in the middle‑lower part of the county’s academic landscape.

Housing in the area is somewhat less expensive than the statewide and national benchmarks, which may be relevant for families balancing school quality with housing costs. Mortgage rates and rents are typical for the current market, and the median household income nationally provides a rough reference point for affordability.

Because this is an elementary school, there is no graduation rate to report, and data on chronic absenteeism and discipline were not available. The school’s program offerings were not detailed in the materials reviewed, so a parent interested in specific enrichment, special education services, or gifted programming would need to contact the school or district directly. The same applies to class sizes and staffing ratios, which were not part of the data provided.

Overall, Weston Elementary offers a regular public school setting in a growing, car‑dependent village with a district that has recently invested in its facilities. The academic profile shows a range of outcomes across grade levels, with some subjects and grades performing more strongly than others, and the school sits below the county midpoint on an aggregate measure. Families who value a diverse student body and a community with recent capital improvements will find points of alignment, but those looking for detailed information on special programs or student support services will need to seek it out.

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.
