Summary

Argyle Elementary is a small PK–5 public school in rural Argyle, Wisconsin, serving about 150 students as part of the Argyle School District. The district ranks 72nd of 432 Wisconsin districts (83rd percentile, 4 stars), and the school ranks 162nd of 1,039 elementary schools in 2025–2026 (84th percentile, 4 stars). Its long-term trend is impressive: it rose from 26th percentile in 2015–2016 to 84th percentile in 2025–2026, despite a dip in 2024–2025. This places Argyle Elementary among the stronger elementary schools in its rural region, behind New Glarus Elementary (95th percentile) and Belleville Elementary (86th percentile).

Academically, Argyle’s strongest 2025–2026 results came in grade 4 and in math across grades. Grade 4 ELA proficiency was 86.36% (state: 53.87%), the highest among nearby schools. Grade 4 science (86.36%) and social studies (90.91%) were also highest nearby. Math was above state at every grade 3–5 level, with grade 5 at 76.92% (state: 51.81%). ELA was uneven: grade 3 was slightly above state, but grade 5 was 50.00%, below state. Chronic absenteeism is extraordinarily low: 0.0% in 2024–2025 (state: 17.3%). The low-SES subgroup ranked 92nd percentile (5 stars) in 2024–2025 despite a free/reduced lunch rate of 36.67%, higher than Belleville Elementary, Mineral Point Elementary, and New Glarus Elementary. Female students ranked higher (89th percentile) than male students (74th percentile), and special education students were near the median (49th percentile, 2 stars).

Overall, Argyle Elementary has climbed from the bottom quarter to the top quarter statewide, with exceptional attendance. Strengths are math, science, social studies, and grade 4 ELA. Watch grade 5 ELA. The school is effective for low-income students, with small class sizes (10.2 ratio) and $17,734 per-pupil spending. With about 150 students, year-to-year swings can be large, so trends matter more than single results. Parents should note the positive trajectory, strong attendance, and subgroup successes, while monitoring grade 5 ELA and the male–female gap.
