Schools in Spring Green, WI

Spring Green, Wisconsin, is served by three public schools — all part of the River Valley School District — covering pre-kindergarten through 12th grade with 946 students listed in total. River Valley Elementary serves PK–2 (258 students), River Valley Intermediate School serves grades 3–6 (324 students), and River Valley Junior High / High School serves grades 7–12 (364 students). There is no standalone middle school, and the high school also houses grades 7 and 8. The district as a whole ranks 154th of 432 in Wisconsin, at the 64th percentile with 3 stars, but that average hides wide differences among the three schools.

River Valley Junior High / High School shows the strongest momentum: it climbed from the 44th percentile with 2 stars in 2023–24 to the 79th percentile with 4 stars in 2025–26. Its 2024–25 graduation rate is 97.9%, above the state's 92.0%, and its dropout rate is 0.0%. Its biggest concern is chronic absenteeism at 28.5%, far above the district's 17.1% and the state's 17.3%. River Valley Intermediate School is the most consistently above-state in current tests, with 9 of 10 listed 2025–26 tests above state and chronic absenteeism of 13.0%, also below both district and state.

River Valley Elementary stands out for engagement and resources — the lowest chronic absenteeism (6.8%), the highest per-student spending ($19,959), and the lowest student-teacher ratio (10.5) — yet its latest reported rank is the 30th percentile with 1 star, and all listed 2024–25 tests fall below state. Note that this school serves PK–2 while its test rows are for 3rd and 4th grades, so those academic results are hard to tie directly to its current program. In short, the high school is improving fast, the intermediate school is the steadiest performer, and the elementary school leads on engagement and spending while trailing in reported academics.
