Summary:

Silver Lake J1 School District is a one-school district in Wisconsin. Its only campus, Riverview Elementary, serves grades PK–8 and enrolls 449 students, so every district-level figure in this data set describes that single school. The district is ranked 144th of 432 Wisconsin districts, placing it in the 67th percentile with a 3-star rating. Its student-teacher ratio is 14.8, and 32.74% of students receive free or reduced-price lunch.

Riverview Elementary's clearest strength is English language arts. Across grades 3–8 in 2025–2026, ELA proficiency averaged 68.05%, compared with 54.04% statewide — about 14 percentage points higher. Middle-grade ELA was especially strong, with 7th grade at 85.37% versus the state's 55.33%, 6th grade at 76.92%, and 8th grade at 75.56%. Science averaged 59.77% against the state's 52.66%, and social studies averaged 67.91% against 65.07%. Attendance is another bright spot: chronic absenteeism at 10.9% is well below Wisconsin's 17.3%, roughly 37% lower than the state rate.

The main academic concern is mathematics, where the 2025–2026 average of 53.19% landed essentially even with the state's 53.73%. Results were uneven by grade: 6th grade math reached 64.10% and 7th grade 65.85%, both well above state, while 5th grade (42.59%), 3rd grade (47.73%), and 8th grade (48.89%) trailed state averages. The school's statewide rank has also slipped, from 209th of 1,061 schools (80th percentile, 4 stars) in 2023–2024 to 458th of 1,039 (56th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026. A reported dropout rate of 2.9% is above the state's 1.1%, though that measure may not be directly comparable for a PK–8 school. Overall proficiency remains above state averages, buoyed by ELA and science gains.
