Summary

Dodgeville Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in Dodgeville, Wisconsin, part of the Dodgeville School District. With 379 students, the school has consistently outperformed the state average on the Forward Exam across grades 3-4 in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science. For example, in 2024-2025, 61.33% of 3rd graders and 62.5% of 4th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 52.14% and 52.21% respectively.

Dodgeville Elementary has also shown strong performance for its special education and low-income student populations, ranking 225 out of 790 Wisconsin elementary schools for special education students and 119 out of 866 for low-income students in 2023-2024. However, the school has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism rates in recent years, reaching 19.5% in 2022-2023, before bringing it down to 6.2% and 6.8% in the following two years, which is lower than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, Dodgeville Elementary generally outperforms them in test scores, with the exception of Barneveld Elementary, which has consistently higher proficiency rates across grades and subjects. Dodgeville's statewide ranking has fluctuated significantly over the years, from as high as 312 to as low as 757 out of over 1,000 schools, suggesting some instability or variability in its performance. The school may want to investigate the reasons behind the recent increase in chronic absenteeism and explore ways to learn from the success of Barneveld Elementary and other high-performing nearby schools to further improve its own academic outcomes.
