Summary:
Elementary schools in the Dodgeville School District come down to a single school: Dodgeville Elementary, serving grades PK–4 to 385 students at 404 N Johnson St in Dodgeville, Wisconsin. Because it is the only elementary school in the district, it *is* the district's entire elementary system — the district's elementary results are simply this school's results. With no neighboring elementary school to compare against, the most useful benchmark for parents is the state of Wisconsin.
On the Forward Exam, Dodgeville Elementary beats the state in 11 of 12 reported subject-and-grade results across two years. Its average proficiency was 67.21% in 2025-2026 versus 55.42% statewide — a 11.79-point advantage, nearly double the 6.22-point edge it held the year before. Mathematics is the standout: third-grade math reached 79.17% proficient against the state's 54.75%, the widest gap in the data, and fourth-grade social studies rebounded from 8.96 points below the state to 5.72 points above it. The only results that slipped year over year were third-grade English Language Arts (down 3.00 points) and fourth-grade math (down 4.76 points), though both still finished above the state average. The school earned 4 stars and ranked in the 72nd percentile in 2025-2026, up from 3 stars and the 61st percentile.
Beyond test scores, chronic absenteeism was 8.1% — less than half the state's 17.3%, though the district figure reported alongside it (4.2%) is lower than the school's own rate, which is unusual and worth verifying. Roughly one in three students (32.99%) qualifies for free or reduced lunch, per-student spending was $15,327, and the student-teacher ratio was 11.7 to 1. Only one year of these context measures is available, so no trends can be drawn from them.
