Summary:
The Cassville School District in southwestern Wisconsin has a single elementary school: Cassville Elementary, serving grades PK–6 with 92 students at 412 Crawford St in Cassville. Because it is the only elementary school in the district, there is nothing to compare it against locally — its test results are identical to the district's elementary-level results — but it can be compared with schools statewide.
Cassville Elementary is among the strongest elementary schools in Wisconsin. It ranked 97th of 1,039 schools in 2025–26 — 91st percentile and a 5-star rating — up from the 76th percentile (252nd, 4 stars) in 2024–25 and the 77th percentile (245th, 4 stars) in 2023–24. Its 2025–26 Forward Exam proficiency was above the state average in all ten reported grade-and-subject results. Math is the standout: every reported math grade beat the state, ranging from 71.43% in grade 5 to 100% in grade 6, with an unweighted average of 84.80% against the state's 53.26%. English Language Arts also climbed sharply, from a modest advantage in 2024–25 to every grade above the state in 2025–26, including 100% in grade 6 and 80% in grade 3. Fourth-grade social studies rose from 61.54% (the one below-state result across both years) to 77.78%, while fourth-grade science dipped from 76.92% to 66.67% but stayed 13.21 points above the state. Chronic absenteeism was 12.7% in 2024–25, below the district's 19.5% and the state's 17.3%.
Two practical points for parents: with 92 students, each grade is small, so a student or two can shift a proficiency rate by 10–20 points or more, and year-over-year changes reflect different cohorts rather than the same children. The school also serves a population where 47.83% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, yet posts well-above-state results, supported by $20,651 per-student spending and an 8.3 student-teacher ratio. The district overall is ranked 134th of 432, 69th percentile with 3 stars.
