Summary:
Walworth Elementary is the only elementary school in the Walworth J1 School District, located at 121 Beloit St in Walworth, Wisconsin. Although it is classified as an elementary school, it serves students in grades PK through 8 and enrolls 409 students, so its test data covers both elementary and middle-grade results. Roughly 47.68% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, per-student spending is $15,577, and the student-teacher ratio is 13.6.
Attendance is the school's clearest strength. In 2024–2025, chronic absenteeism was 11.8%, well below the statewide 17.3%, and the dropout rate was 0.0% compared with 1.1% across Wisconsin. Reading and writing are also relatively solid: in 2025–2026, ELA averaged 50.92% proficiency against a state average of 54.04% — a gap of only about 3 points — and grades 3, 5, and 6 actually scored above the state. Grade 6 stands out as the school's brightest spot, with ELA at 60.00% proficient (about 5 points above state) and math at 53.33%, essentially matching the state's 53.60% and up more than 17 points from the prior year.
Math and science are the biggest concerns. In 2025–2026, no listed math grade met the state proficiency rate, and the average math gap was about 13.5 percentage points; grades 7 and 8 trailed the state by roughly 20 points. Science averaged 39.58% versus 52.66% statewide, and social studies was also below state. Grade 8 is especially weak, scoring 40.48% in ELA, 33.33% in both math and science, and 54.76% in social studies — all below state. The Walworth J1 School District ranks 377th of 432 districts (13th percentile, 1 star), while the school itself has improved to 2 stars and a 36th percentile rank, though still below the state median.
