Summary

Boscobel Elementary is a PK–5 school serving 311 students in Boscobel, a small community in southwestern Wisconsin, and is part of the Boscobel Area School District.

Attendance is this school's signature strength. In 2024–2025, only 1.9% of Boscobel Elementary students were chronically absent, compared with 17.3% statewide and 17.0% at nearby Riverdale Elementary. That is the lowest rate among nearby schools, which include Wauzeka Elementary (2.2%), North Crawford Elementary (2.2%), Highland Community Elementary (3.1%), Seneca Elementary (5.1%), Winskill Elementary (5.2%), River Ridge Elementary (5.5%) and Fennimore Elementary (6.0%). This stands out because Boscobel also has the highest free/reduced lunch rate among those schools (58.84%), while spending $18,682 per student and maintaining a 10.3-to-1 student-teacher ratio — both favorable compared with most nearby schools.

Academics are mixed. On 2025–2026 state tests, Boscobel performed above the state average in 4th and 5th grade math, near average in 4th and 5th grade ELA, but well below in 3rd grade ELA (38.89% proficient vs. 52.08%) and 4th grade science (44% vs. 53.46%). The school ranked 576th of 1,039 elementary schools (45th percentile, 2 stars), down from a peak of 75th percentile, 4 stars in 2023–2024 — a reminder that small grade cohorts can swing results. One bright spot: effectiveness for special education students rose from the 19th to the 66th percentile.
