Summary:
The Reedsburg School District in Wisconsin has five schools serving pre-kindergarten through 12th grade — three elementary, one middle and one high school — with 2,554 students in total. Enrollment concentrates in the upper grades: Reedsburg Area High (grades 9–12) has 889 students, about 34.8% of the district, followed by Webb Middle (6–8) with 572 and Prairie Ridge Intermediate (3–5) with 505. The two PK–2 schools are smaller: Pineview Elementary with 390 and West Side Elementary with 198. The district ranks 277 of 432 in the state, at the 36th percentile with 2 stars.
Prairie Ridge Intermediate posts the district's strongest attendance, with chronic absenteeism of 11.2%, below the state rate of 17.3%, along with standout 4th-grade results: 70.25% proficient in math and 63.92% in science, both well above state. Webb Middle also beats the state on absenteeism (13.7%) and on 6th- and 7th-grade math, and Reedsburg Area High has a 96.3% graduation rate and a 0.7% dropout rate, both better than state, plus above-state 10th-grade math and social studies scores.
The clearest red flag is at Reedsburg Area High, where chronic absenteeism is 27.9% — more than double Prairie Ridge's rate and 10.6 points above state — while 10th-grade ELA (41.24%) and science (35.59%) trail the state and declined from the prior year. Webb Middle shows sharp grade-level swings, with 8th-grade ELA down 18.38 points and 8th-grade math down 14.95 points year over year, even as 6th- and 7th-grade ELA improved. Pineview Elementary and West Side Elementary serve PK–2 and have no current state test scores, so their academic performance cannot be judged from this data; West Side has the district's highest free/reduced lunch rate (61.11%) and per-student spending ($18,599), while the high school spends the least ($13,270).
