Summary:
The Pardeeville Area School District has one elementary school, Pardeeville Elementary, located at 503 E Chestnut St in Pardeeville, Wisconsin. It enrolls 331 students in grades PK–4, so families in this area have a single elementary option within the district. Because there is only one elementary school, there are no local elementary peers to compare it against; the most useful comparisons are between the school and the state, and between one year and the next.
The school's clearest strengths are attendance, science, and social studies. Chronic absenteeism was 6.3% in 2024–25, below the district's 7.6% and far below Wisconsin's 17.3%. In 2025–26, fourth-grade science proficiency was 65.08% compared with 53.46% statewide, and fourth-grade social studies was 68.25% compared with 65.51% statewide. Both subjects were also above state the prior year, so these are consistent bright spots. Per-student spending is $15,032, the student-teacher ratio is 13.2, and 39.58% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
Academically, math is the biggest concern. In 2025–26, third-grade math proficiency was 28.57% versus 54.75% statewide, and fourth-grade math was 38.10% versus 52.87%. Fourth-grade English language arts also slipped from 62.12% in 2024–25, when it was above state, to 49.21% in 2025–26, when it was below state. Reflecting these results, the school's state rank fell from 497th of 1,044 schools (52nd percentile, 3 stars) in 2024–25 to 673rd of 1,039 schools (35th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–26. Keep in mind that year-over-year grade comparisons involve different groups of students. Overall, this is a school with strong attendance and solid science and social studies results that is working to recover in math and fourth-grade reading.
