Fourth grade is the standout: 65.22% proficient in ELA, 77.17% in social studies, and 70.65% in science. Third grade results beat the state average but trail district peers — 59.52% in ELA and 71.43% in math — with Greenville Elementary (72.41% ELA, 79.31% math) ahead in both and Parkview Elementary ahead in third grade ELA. Fourth grade ELA ties Parkview Elementary and trails only North Greenville Elementary (77.63%), and in fourth grade science Hortonville is second only to North Greenville among nearby schools.
