Summary

Southview Elementary is a K–5 school at 615 A St in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, serving 286 students — the smallest enrollment of the five elementary schools in the Chippewa Falls Area Unified School District. By the numbers, it is almost exactly the median elementary school in Wisconsin: 521st of 1,039 schools in 2025-26, at the 50th percentile with 2 stars, inside a district that itself ranks mid-pack statewide. Within its own district, Southview sits third of five — ahead of Hillcrest Elementary and Parkview Elementary, behind Halmstad Elementary and Stillson Elementary.

Where Southview stands out is attendance and early-grade momentum. Chronic absenteeism has fallen from 16.4% in 2021-22 to 8.1% in 2024-25 — less than half Wisconsin's 17.3% rate and second-best among the district's elementaries, despite serving a relatively high-poverty population. Fifth-grade math is a genuine flagship: 85.37% proficient in 2025-26 against 51.81% statewide, the highest mark in the district. Third-grade reading has climbed 41 points in four years, from 18.2% to 59.6%, now above both district and state. And the school's strongest subgroup results come from its lowest-income students, who rank at the 72nd percentile statewide with 4 stars — the only 4-star rating anywhere in Southview's record.

The soft spots are concentrated in fourth grade. Fourth-grade social studies proficiency is 44.9%, versus 63.1% district and 65.5% state — last among the five local schools — and fourth-grade reading trails both benchmarks, though that single-year drop looks subject-specific rather than a weak cohort. Per-pupil spending has risen about 16% in three years to $16,028 without a matching gain in rank. The sharpest comparison is Halmstad Elementary, 0.44 miles away: higher poverty at 51.6% free/reduced lunch yet 18 percentile points ahead, which suggests Southview's ceiling is not demographic.
