Summary:
Pardeeville, Wisconsin is served by the Pardeeville Area School District, which operates three public schools covering grades PK through 12: Pardeeville Elementary (PK–4, 331 students), Pardeeville Middle (5–8, 248 students), and Pardeeville High (9–12, 284 students), for a total enrollment of 863. No alternative school is listed. The district overall ranks 200th of 432 Wisconsin districts, at the 54th percentile with 3 stars. Because each school is ranked against a different number of schools, percentile and stars are the fairest way to compare them.
Pardeeville Middle is the district's standout, reaching the 79th percentile and 4 stars in 2025–2026, up from the 47th percentile in 2023–2024. Notably, it achieves this with the lowest per-student spending in the city ($12,649) and the largest student/teacher ratio (17.2). Pardeeville High also improved, rising to the 61st percentile and 3 stars, with a 94.8% graduation rate versus the state's 92.0% and a dropout rate of 1.1% matching the state. Pardeeville Elementary moved the other way, slipping to the 35th percentile and 2 stars, with sharp declines in math.
Attendance is a strength across all three schools: chronic absenteeism is 6.3% at the elementary, 7.0% at the high school, and 10.0% at the middle school, all far below Wisconsin's 17.3%. Math is the clearest weak spot, especially in early grades—elementary 3rd grade math is 26.18 points below the state—though middle school math in grades 6 through 8 is strong. Science and social studies are consistent bright spots district-wide. Overall, the district's 54th percentile ranking masks wide differences among its schools.
