Best Public Schools in Ringle, WI

Ringle, Wisconsin has just one school in this data set — Riverside Elementary, a K–5 school serving 487 students in the D C Everest Area School District — so the most useful comparisons are between this school and its district and state averages rather than between schools within the city. No test-score values for this school were suppressed, and the record includes state ranking history, Forward Exam proficiency, chronic absenteeism, free/reduced lunch percentage, per-student spending, and student-teacher ratio.

Riverside stands out well beyond simply being the only school in Ringle. In 2025-2026 it ranked 53rd of 1,039 Wisconsin schools — the 95th percentile with a 5-star rating — up from 116th of 1,044 (89th percentile, 4 stars) in 2024-2025 and 152nd of 1,061 (86th percentile, 4 stars) in 2023-2024. Its district sits at 210th of 432, the 51st percentile with 3 stars, making the school an outlier within a more average-performing district. Riverside outperformed both its district and the state in every reported grade and subject cell in both 2025-2026 and 2024-2025. Mathematics was its strongest area in 2025-2026, averaging 82.15% proficient across grades 3–5 versus 67.69% in the district and 53.14% statewide, with 3rd-grade math at 91.57%. ELA averaged 74.86%, 4th-grade social studies 88.64%, and 4th-grade science 78.41%.

Chronic absenteeism was 5.5% in 2024-2025, about half the district rate of 10.9% and less than one-third of the state rate of 17.3%. Other 2024-2025 metrics include 18.28% free/reduced lunch, $13,206 per-student spending, and a 15.5 student-teacher ratio; no district or state comparisons are provided for spending or the student-teacher ratio. Grade-level test scores are cross-sectional, so year-to-year comparisons are not always the same students. A matched-cohort look shows 5th-grade math easing from 83.17% to 76.47%, still far above district and state. Overall, this is a high-performing elementary school with strong math and ELA results, very low chronic absenteeism, and a clearly improving statewide rank.
