Original Research by School Decision on Stockbridge Elementary
Stockbridge Elementary is a small public school serving pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in the village of Stockbridge, Wisconsin, a rural community on the eastern shore of Lake Winnebago in Calumet County. The village is known as the "Sturgeon Capital of the World" and has deep Native American history ties to the Stockbridge Munsee tribe. It is a quiet, lakeside area of homes and farms with a very small downtown along State Highway 55. The population has been declining slightly in recent years, and the area trends older. The school is part of the Stockbridge School District, which covers the village and the surrounding town.
The school enrolls fewer than a hundred students, which is very small for an elementary school in Wisconsin. Every grade from kindergarten through fifth grade has between eleven and seventeen students, plus a dozen pre-kindergarten children. The student body is almost entirely white, and a modest share of families qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, well below the state average. Data on students with disabilities and English learners was not available in the reporting used here.
State testing is administered in grades three through five using the Wisconsin Forward Exam, and participation was complete. The results show a mixed picture. In mathematics, roughly a quarter to a little under half of students scored proficient or above, with fifth graders performing strongest. In English language arts, the pattern is more uneven: third and fourth graders scored near a quarter and a little under half proficient respectively, but fifth grade had a very low proficiency rate. Parents may want to look into the fifth grade ELA results further with the school. Science, tested in fourth grade, had about half of students proficient. Social studies, also tested in fourth grade, had a notably higher share reach proficiency. When the school's overall proficiency across all tested subjects and grades is compared to other districts in Calumet County, it falls in the bottom quarter. There is no graduation rate because the school does not serve high school grades, and chronic absenteeism data was not available.
The school offers no special designations such as magnet or charter status. Its Title I status was not reported in the available data. No program offerings or course access information was found, and there are no records of recent district-level changes such as referenda, curriculum shifts, or boundary adjustments. The school website exists but did not yield specific details for this profile.
What this school offers is a very small, close-knit elementary setting in a rural lakeside community that is stable but not growing. The peer environment is homogeneous in terms of race and comparatively low in economic disadvantage. Academically, the school performs below the middle of the county, with pockets of strength in social studies and some grade-level subjects, and a clear soft spot in fifth grade reading. Families considering Stockbridge Elementary should weigh the appeal of a tiny school and a quiet, outdoors-oriented community against the proficiency results, and may wish to discuss academic support and curriculum with the school directly.
