Summary:
Silver Lake, Wisconsin has exactly one public school in this data set: Riverview Elementary, located at 300 Prosser St. Although it is classified as an elementary school, it serves grades PK through 8 with 449 students, so it functions as a combined elementary and middle school. It is the only school in the Silver Lake J1 School District, which is ranked 144th out of 432 Wisconsin districts — the 67th percentile with 3 stars. Because there is just one school, the district's test scores, dropout rate, and chronic absenteeism rate are identical to the school's.
Riverview's strongest academic results are in English Language Arts, particularly in the middle grades. In 2025–2026, 7th grade ELA proficiency was 85.37% versus 55.33% statewide, 6th grade was 76.92% versus 54.95%, and 8th grade was 75.56% versus 54.38% — each more than 21 points above the state. Sixth and 7th grade math also outperformed the state by about 10 points, and 4th grade science and 8th grade social studies were above state averages. Chronic absenteeism is a clear strength at 10.9%, well below Wisconsin's 17.3%.
Math is more mixed. Grades 6 and 7 beat the state, but 5th grade math fell to 42.59% (9.22 points below the state), 3rd grade math was 47.73%, and 8th grade math was 48.89%. The school's overall ranking has also slipped, from the 80th percentile in 2023–2024 to 64th in 2024–2025 and 56th in 2025–2026, with stars dropping from 4 to 3. The reported dropout rate of 2.9% is above the state's 1.1%, though that measure is less directly meaningful for a PK–8 school. Contextually, 32.74% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, per-student spending is $13,496, and the student-teacher ratio is 14.8.
