Summary:

Patch Grove, Wisconsin has one elementary school in this data set, River Ridge Elementary, serving grades PK–4 with 190 students in the River Ridge School District. The school serves a substantially economically disadvantaged population: 46.84% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025. Its student-teacher ratio is low at 11.5, and per-student spending is high at $19,737. Chronic absenteeism is an exceptional strength at 5.5% in 2024–2025, compared with 5.6% for the district and 17.3% for Wisconsin.

Academically, the school had a very strong 2024–2025 and a much more mixed 2025–2026. In 2024–2025, every reported Forward Exam result was at or above the state average, including 4th grade Mathematics at 74.29% vs. 53.96% state, 4th grade Social Studies at 82.86% vs. 63.65%, 4th grade ELA at 60% vs. 52.21%, and 3rd grade Mathematics at 61.11% vs. 55%. In 2025–2026, 4th grade ELA, Mathematics, and Social Studies remained above state, but 3rd grade ELA and Mathematics fell below state, as did 4th grade Science. District test values were identical to the school’s for every reported exam. The school’s rank declined from 283 of 1,061 with 4 stars in 2023–2024, to 354 of 1,044 with 3 stars in 2024–2025, to 610 of 1,039 with 2 stars in 2025–2026. The district is ranked 168 of 432 with 3 stars.

The main takeaway for parents is that attendance is a clear bright spot, while academic results need watching. Five of six reported exams declined from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026; the largest drops were in 4th grade Mathematics (−20.00 points), 3rd grade Mathematics (−18.25 points), and 3rd grade ELA (−17.07 points). Fourth grade ELA stayed flat at 60%, and 4th grade ELA, Mathematics, and Social Studies remained above state in the latest year. Grade 3 was the main weak point in 2025–2026, and Science became a relative weakness, moving from barely above state in 2024–2025 (+0.60 points) to below state in 2025–2026 (−4.89 points). The school’s challenge is to recover the broad proficiency levels it showed in 2024–2025 while maintaining its exceptional attendance record.
