Summary

Hortonville Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in the Hortonville Area School District, with 475 students located in Hortonville, Wisconsin. The school has shown consistent academic performance, with 3-4 star ratings from SchoolDigger over the past several years, and its proficiency rates in core subjects are generally on par or slightly below the district average, but above the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, Greenville Elementary has a similar performance, while North Greenville Elementary consistently outperforms Hortonville Elementary across various academic measures. However, schools in the Neenah Joint School District and Appleton Area School District, while further away, tend to have stronger academic performance than Hortonville Elementary.

One area of concern for Hortonville Elementary is the significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 2.6% in 2022-2023 to 17.7% in 2023-2024. This is an issue the school and district should investigate and address, as high rates of chronic absenteeism can negatively impact student learning and academic outcomes. Overall, Hortonville Elementary is a generally well-performing school, but it faces challenges in certain areas that the school and district should work to improve.
