Iowa-Grant School District

Iowa-Grant School District is a small district in Livingston, Wisconsin—despite the "Iowa" in its name—serving roughly 648 students across two schools: Iowa-Grant Elementary/Middle, which covers prekindergarten through 8th grade with 423 students, and Iowa-Grant High, which serves grades 9–12 with 225 students. The district as a whole is rated 2 stars, placing it 260th of 432 Wisconsin districts, or the 40th percentile.

The two schools have noticeably different profiles. Iowa-Grant High is the stronger-rated school at 3 stars and the 56th percentile, up from 2 stars and the 41st percentile in 2023–24. Iowa-Grant Elementary/Middle has held steady at 2 stars and the 43rd percentile for three years. Math is the clearest strength across both schools: elementary/middle math averages ran 8.43 points above the state in 2025–26 and 13.82 points above in 2024–25, with grades 5–7 especially strong—5th-grade math reached 81.08% proficient versus 51.81% statewide. At the high school, ACT math and science stayed above state both years.

English language arts is the most consistent weakness. Elementary/middle ELA fell below state both years, including 7th-grade ELA at 32.65% in 2025–26 versus 55.33% statewide, and high school ACT ELA was below state both years. Attendance is a bright spot: chronic absenteeism was 8.4% at the elementary/middle and 11.4% at the high school, both under the state's 17.3%. Yet the high school's graduation rate is 88.6% versus 92.0% statewide, and its dropout rate is 2.1% versus 1.1%. About 44% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, spending is roughly $16,826 per student, and student-teacher ratios are low at 11.5 and 11.0.
