The district itself ranks 154th of 432 Wisconsin districts, placing it in the 64th percentile with 3 stars.

The school reported 0.0% dropout and 13.0% chronic absenteeism, below the district's 17.1%.
River Valley Elementary stands out for attendance and class size rather than test scores. Its chronic absenteeism was 6.8% — about half the Intermediate school's 13.0% and well under the district's 17.1% and the state's 17.3%. It also has a slightly smaller student-teacher ratio (10.5 versus 11.3) and spends $19,959 per student versus $17,162. Academically, its latest rank was 736th of 1,044 (30th percentile, 1 star), and every reported 2024–25 result fell below state averages, with 4th grade science lowest at 38.98% versus 50.83%. Note that grade spans and test years do not line up neatly, so compare the two schools directionally rather than exactly.
