Summary:
Muscoda, Wisconsin is home to four schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, all part of the Riverdale School District, which is ranked 214 of 432 districts in the state — right around the 50th percentile with 3 stars. Total enrollment across the schools is 631 students. The district includes one elementary school, one junior high, and two high schools, so families here move through a fairly small, tightly connected system.
Riverdale Elementary is the largest school with 337 students and has the lowest student-to-teacher ratio at 12.1. Its clearest strength is math: in 2025–26, every tested grade scored above the state in math, including 5th grade at 64.71% versus the state's 51.81%. Its reading results are less even, with 3rd-grade English language arts at 39.02% versus the state's 52.08%. Riverdale High is a standout for completion — a 100.0% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate, both above district and state figures — and its 2025–26 10th-grade ACT results in English language arts, math, and science were all above state. Its main concern is chronic absenteeism at 28.2%, higher than the district's 21.3% and the state's 17.3%.
Riverdale Junior High has the lowest chronic absenteeism at 15.0%, below the state rate, and 8th-grade science has stayed above state two years running, though 8th-grade reading, math, and social studies fell below state in 2025–26 and its rank slipped to 2 stars. Riverdale Academy, with just 14 students in grades 6–12, has the highest free/reduced lunch rate at 71.43%, a 57.1% graduation rate, and 80.0% chronic absenteeism; no test-score records are included for it. Because several of these schools are small, percentages can shift sharply from one year to the next.
