Summary:
Plymouth, Wisconsin is home to six listed schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade: three elementary schools (Parkview, Horizon, and Fairview), one middle school (Riverview), and two high schools. Five of these belong to the Plymouth Joint School District, which enrolls 2,000 students and ranks 135th of 432 districts in Wisconsin (69th percentile, 3 stars). The sixth, DOC: Kettle Moraine Correctional Institution, is a 34-student 12th-grade program run by the Wisconsin Department of Corrections; it has no comparable test, spending, or poverty data and should not be compared with the others.
Among the elementaries, Fairview Elementary currently posts the strongest results — 78th percentile, 4 stars, with 4th-grade math at 80.95% proficient versus 52.87% statewide — despite having the highest poverty rate (37.56%) and the highest per-student spending ($16,363). Parkview Elementary has the lowest chronic absenteeism in the group at 6.5% and standout 3rd-grade math at 87.18%, though it has slipped from 5 stars in 2023–2024 to 4 stars. Horizon Elementary remains the most challenged at 53rd percentile and generally trails the district, but improved from a 2-star 2024–2025. Riverview Middle is the clearest positive trend, rising from the 63rd to the 73rd percentile and earning 4 stars with strong math and science.
Plymouth High graduates 94.5% of students (state: 92.0%) with a 0.9% dropout rate and ACT math and science above state averages, but its chronic absenteeism of 20.6% is higher than both the district (14.6%) and state (17.3%) — its main area to watch. Across the district, poverty and spending do not neatly predict results, and grade-level performance can vary sharply within a single school, so families should weigh specific grade results and multi-year trends rather than a single rating.
