Summary:
The Barneveld School District in Wisconsin serves about 443 students across three schools spanning prekindergarten through 12th grade: Barneveld Elementary (PK–5, 229 students), Barneveld Middle School (6–8, 96 students), and Barneveld High (9–12, 118 students). The district is rated 158th of 432 in the state, at the 63rd percentile with 3 stars.
Among the three, Barneveld Elementary is the strongest overall performer, ranking in the 75th percentile with 4 stars — the only current 4-star school — with math proficiency well above state levels and the district's lowest chronic absenteeism at 2.6%. Barneveld High ranks in the 64th percentile with 3 stars and stands out for a 95.8% graduation rate versus the state's 92.0%, a 0.8% dropout rate, and 10th-grade social studies at 72.22 versus the state's 48.25; its chronic absenteeism of 12.3% is the district's highest, though still below the state's 17.3%. Barneveld Middle School has the lowest current rank (53rd percentile, 3 stars) and below-state ELA in grades 6, 7, and 8, but the smallest classes with a student-teacher ratio of 9 and strong 6th- and 7th-grade math.
District-wide, math is the clearest strength, with one exception: 8th-grade math fell from 75.76 to 50.00, below the state's 53.67. Science is the most consistent weakness in 2025–26, below state at the elementary, middle, and high school levels, and ELA slips as students move from elementary into middle and high school. Poverty levels are low and similar across the three schools, and all are below the state chronic absenteeism rate. Because the middle and high schools each enroll fewer than 120 students, year-to-year changes should be read with some caution.
