Summary:
Belleville, Wisconsin is a small community served by the Belleville School District, which includes three public schools — one elementary, one middle and one high school — together enrolling 936 students across grades PK through 12.
All three schools perform well. Belleville Middle is the academic standout: ranked 43rd of 643 middle schools in 2025–26 (93rd percentile, 5 stars), with 7th-grade math proficiency at 81.36% and 8th-grade math at 86%, compared with statewide rates of 55.67% and 53.67%. It also has the smallest enrollment (111), the lowest student-teacher ratio (8.6) and the highest per-student spending ($16,369). Belleville High is the most improved, climbing from the 41st percentile with 2 stars in 2023–24 to the 88th percentile with 4 stars in 2025–26, and posting a 97.2% graduation rate versus 92.0% statewide. Belleville Elementary, the largest school with 550 students, ranks in the 86th percentile (4 stars) and is strong across subjects, including 4th-grade math and science at 76.12% each versus state rates near 53%.
Every listed proficiency rate at every school beats the state average, and all three improved their ranking over three years; the district itself ranks 34th of 432 in Wisconsin (92nd percentile, 5 stars). Chronic absenteeism is the one uneven area: the elementary school is exceptionally low at 5.6% and the middle school is 9.0%, but the high school is 17.6%, slightly above the state's 17.3% and nearly double the district's 9.7% — the clearest watch point. Free/reduced lunch rates are tightly clustered (21.09% to 23.64%), suggesting broadly similar socioeconomic contexts across the three schools. Spending and staffing do not show a simple relationship with outcomes: the elementary school has the lowest spending ($13,785) and a higher student-teacher ratio (13.9) yet still produces strong results and very low absenteeism.
