Geneva J4 School District

Geneva J4 School District in Wisconsin is a single-school district: Woods Elementary serves PK–8 with 148 students, which means district-level results and school-level results are identical. The district has no middle or high schools, so after 8th grade families look outside the district for high school. Context for the school includes a 9.5 student-teacher ratio, $20,588 spent per student, and 31.76% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch in 2024–2025.

Academically, Woods Elementary scores well above Wisconsin norms. In 2025–2026, every reported grade and subject was above the state average, with an overall average of 74.1% versus 55.1% statewide — a gap of about 19 percentage points. Math is the strongest subject (77.0% vs. 53.7% state), followed by social studies (80.8% vs. 65.1%), English language arts (71.0% vs. 54.0%), and science (67.9% vs. 52.7%). The highest 2025–2026 results include 7th grade math at 91.67%, 8th grade social studies at 86.67%, and 3rd grade math at 85.71%. Even the lowest scores — 6th grade ELA at 61.11% and 5th grade ELA at 61.54% — were above their state averages. In 2024–2025, 8th graders reached 100% in ELA, math, and social studies, and 4th grade has since risen above state in all tested subjects.

The school has earned 4 stars in each of the last three years, ranking 243rd of 1,039 Wisconsin schools in 2025–2026, up from 297th the year before, while the district ranks 56th of 432. Chronic absenteeism is 12.7%, below the state's 17.3%, and the dropout rate is 0.0% against 1.1% statewide. Because each grade has roughly 15 students on average, a single student can move a grade-level percentage by several points, so year-to-year swings are best read with caution.
