Lien Elementary

Lien Elementary serves 321 students in prekindergarten through third grade in Amery, Wisconsin. As a regular public school, it maintains a student-teacher ratio of 11.9:1, keeping class sizes tight and giving teachers more direct time with each student. The school earns a composite score of 9.4 out of 10, rated Exceptional, with a perfect 10.0 growth score and a 9.0 academic score.

Those numbers translate directly into statewide standing: Lien ranks 4th among 1,099 elementary schools in Wisconsin and sits at 4th out of 2,102 public schools statewide overall. Put differently, it outperforms 100 percent of Wisconsin public schools — a benchmark very few schools at any level reach. For families comparing options locally, Lien also ranks first among the four public schools in Amery.

The growth score is particularly worth noting. A perfect 10.0 means students here are advancing faster academically than peers at virtually every other school in the state, regardless of starting point. For parents with children in the earliest grades, that trajectory matters.

Lien delivers both strong baseline academic performance and exceptional student progress, making it one of the most compelling elementary options in Wisconsin.

Located in a rural area, Lien Elementary may involve longer commutes for some families. Rural schools often serve as community anchors and may have smaller class sizes, but parents should consider transportation logistics, after-school program availability, and access to specialized services.
