Platteville School District

The Platteville School District serves about 1,544 students across four schools in Platteville, Wisconsin: two elementary schools (Westview Elementary, grades 1–4, and Neal Wilkins Early Learning Center, PK–K), one middle school, and one high school. The district as a whole ranks 75th of 432 in Wisconsin — 83rd percentile, 4 stars — and all three schools with current tested grades also earned 4 stars in 2025–26.

Academically, every listed test result in both 2024–25 and 2025–26 is above the state proficiency rate. Platteville Middle has the strongest current rank (98th of 643, 85th percentile), with science 8 at 73.33% vs. the state's 51.86% and social studies 8 at 80.95% vs. 64.63%. Its main concern is chronic absenteeism at 23.8%, the highest in the district and well above the 17.5% district and 17.3% state rates. Westview Elementary (250th of 1,039, 76th percentile) posts 70.00% in 4th grade math vs. 52.87% statewide despite having the lowest per-student spending ($14,091) and a higher free/reduced lunch rate than the middle and high schools. Platteville High (116th of 533, 78th percentile) is strong in social studies (66.67% vs. 48.25%) and ACT math (57.69% vs. 42.93%), but its dropout rate of 2.3% is above the district's 1.7% and the state's 1.1%.

Neal Wilkins Early Learning Center has no current test scores or recent rank because it serves PK–K, so it should be judged on other signals: the lowest chronic absenteeism in the district (13.5%) and the highest free/reduced lunch rate (47.8%). Notably, spending does not map neatly onto outcomes — the lowest-spending school posts strong results, while the highest-spending school shows a more mixed profile.
