Summary

Belmont Elementary is a PK–6 school with 213 students in Belmont, Wisconsin, part of the Belmont Community School District. In 2025–2026, it ranked 396th of 1,039 elementary schools in the state — 62nd percentile, 3 stars — while its district placed 157th of 432 Wisconsin districts (64th percentile, 3 stars). The school's standing has climbed recently, from the 45th percentile and 2 stars in 2023–2024, to the 50th percentile in 2024–2025, to the 62nd percentile in 2025–2026. It is smaller than most nearby schools and has a notably low 10.3:1 student-teacher ratio.

Attendance is a clear strength: chronic absenteeism was 5.4% in 2024–2025, tying Darlington Elementary/Middle for the lowest among nearby schools and far below both the state rate of 17.3% and the district's 11.6%. Grade 4 stands out academically, with math proficiency at 86.36% and science at 68.18% — the top nearby results in both subjects. Grade 3 is also solid, at 64% in English language arts and 68% in math. Students from low-income families ranked in the 72nd percentile with 4 stars, above the school's overall standing.

Math in the upper grades is the clearest soft spot: grade 5 math was 46.15% and grade 6 math 46.43%, both below state averages. Male students (48th percentile, 2 stars) trail female students (75th percentile, 4 stars). A single-year flag for White students in 2023–2024 (8th percentile, 0 stars) is worth monitoring rather than treating as a trend. Per-student spending is $15,211, near the nearby average. Overall, Belmont sits in the upper-middle of its peer group — ahead of Cuba City Elementary, Southwestern Wisconsin Elementary, Iowa-Grant Elementary/Middle, and Shullsburg Elementary, comparable to Benton Elementary, but behind Westview Elementary, Dodgeville Elementary, and Mineral Point Elementary.
