Summary:
Cadott, Wisconsin is served by three public schools in the Cadott Community School District — one elementary (PK–5), one junior high (6–8), and one high school (9–12) — enrolling 800 students combined, with no alternative school listed. The district is ranked 243 of 432 (44th percentile, 2 stars), but that single district rating masks very uneven school-level performance, and each school's own rank history tells a different story.
Cadott Elementary is the clear standout with 436 students. It ranks 178 of 1,039 (83rd percentile, 4 stars) in 2025-26, up from 2 stars and the 38th percentile in 2023-24. It exceeds state proficiency in every reported subject and grade: ELA 64.71%–72.73% vs. state 52.08%–53.87%, math 60.78%–67.27% vs. 51.81%–54.75%, 4th-grade social studies 85.45% vs. 65.51%, and 4th-grade science 78.18% vs. 53.46%. Chronic absenteeism is just 9.2% — the lowest in the city and well below the district's 14.1% and the state's 17.3%.
The secondary schools are more mixed. Cadott Junior High (134 students) sits at the 40th percentile with 2 stars and is below state in ELA for grades 6–8 (42.55%–44.23% vs. 54.38%–55.33%), yet its 8th-grade math result of 69.35% vs. state 53.67% is the highest math figure in the district. Cadott High (230 students) posts a 98.4% graduation rate and a 0.4% dropout rate, but 24.5% chronic absenteeism — 7.2 points above state — and ACT proficiency below state in ELA (32.73% vs. 48.47%), math (23.64% vs. 42.93%), and science (36.36% vs. 43.2%), a sharp decline from the prior year. Notably, the high school spends the most per student ($19,665) with the smallest classes (11.7), while the elementary spends $17,044 and produces the strongest outcomes.
