Summary:
Platteville, Wisconsin has four schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade — two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school — all part of the Platteville School District, which enrolls 1,544 students, ranks 75th of 432 Wisconsin districts (83rd percentile), and holds 4 stars.
All three tested schools outperformed the state on every reported test in both 2024–25 and 2025–26. Platteville Middle is the academic leader, ranking in the 85th percentile in 2025–26 with especially strong 8th grade social studies (80.95% proficient vs. 64.63% state) and science (73.33% vs. 51.86%). Westview Elementary ranks in the 76th percentile, with 4th grade math at 70% proficient vs. 52.87% state, achieved on the lowest per-student spending in the city ($14,091). Platteville High ranks in the 78th percentile, with ACT Mathematics at 57.69% vs. 42.93% state and Forward Social Studies at 66.67% vs. 48.25% state.
Two concerns stand out. Platteville Middle has the city's highest chronic absenteeism at 23.8%, well above Westview's 14.3% and the state's 17.3%. Platteville High posts a 2.3% dropout rate, more than double the state's 1.1%, and a 91.2% graduation rate slightly below the state's 92.0%. Westview's rank percentile has slipped from 88th in 2023–24 to 76th in 2025–26. Neal Wilkins Early Learning Center serves PK–K only, so it has no current test, graduation, or dropout data; its low absenteeism (13.5%) and high free/reduced lunch rate (47.8%) describe that young population, and its 2007–08 ranking should not be read as current.
