Summary:
Spring Valley School District is a small Wisconsin district with three schools serving PK–12 students on a single shared campus: Spring Valley Elementary (PK–5, 317 students), Spring Valley Middle (6–8, 140 students), and Spring Valley High (9–12, 194 students) — 651 students in all. The district ranks 55th of 432 Wisconsin districts, in the 87th percentile with 4 stars.
Spring Valley Middle is the steadiest academic performer, ranking between the 87th and 90th percentile for three straight years, with every reported test above the state average in both years shown. Math is a standout: 7th grade math hit 85.71% in 2025–26 versus a state 55.67%. Spring Valley Elementary posts the district's best attendance by far — 2.6% chronic absenteeism against the district's 6.3% and the state's 17.3% — despite having the highest free/reduced lunch rate at 28.39%. Its scores are strong but more volatile; several 4th grade results slipped from 2024–25 to 2025–26, and its rank percentile eased from 86th to 75th, still within the top quartile.
Spring Valley High is the district's biggest turnaround, climbing from 2 stars and the 33rd percentile in 2024–25 to 5 stars and the 91st percentile in 2025–26. ACT English Language Arts rose from 27.27% (below the state's 48.62%) to 66.67%, and the school reports a 100% graduation rate and 0.0% dropout rate. Its clearest challenge is attendance: 11.8% chronic absenteeism, nearly double the middle school's rate. Note that spending doesn't track outcomes here — the high school spends the most per student ($15,992) while the middle school spends the least ($13,454). With only 651 students district-wide, year-to-year swings deserve caution.
