Summary

Iowa-Grant Elementary/Middle is a PK–8 school in Livingston, WI, serving 423 students in the Iowa-Grant School District. In 2025-26 the school ranked 589th of 1,039 Wisconsin schools — 43rd percentile, 2 stars — while the district placed 260th of 432, at the 40th percentile with 2 stars. After a peak of 71st percentile and 4 stars in 2020-21, the school has stayed in the low-to-mid 40s for four consecutive years, so the recent pattern is a plateau rather than continued growth.

Math is the school's clearest academic strength, particularly in the upper grades. On the 2025-26 Forward Exam, 5th-grade math was 81.08% proficient versus 51.81% statewide, 6th grade was 76.74% versus 53.60%, 7th grade was 73.47% versus 55.67%, and 8th grade was 57.41% versus 53.67%. ELA is weaker: it beat the state only in 6th grade, and 7th-grade ELA was 32.65% versus 55.33% state. Fourth-grade social studies (55.32% vs. 65.51%) and science (46.81% vs. 53.46%) also trailed, and every nearby school with comparable data scored higher in both. Among nearby schools, Westview Elementary, Winskill Elementary, and Dodgeville Elementary rank well above Iowa-Grant, while only River Ridge Elementary and Highland Community Elementary rank below it.

Two factors work in the school's favor: chronic absenteeism was 8.4% in 2024-25, far below Wisconsin's 17.3%, and spending is relatively generous at $16,937 per pupil with an 11.5:1 student-teacher ratio — better than most nearby schools. Yet the free/reduced lunch rate has risen from 40.38% in 2022-23 to 45.39% in 2024-25. The most persistent concern is special education, where students have ranked between the 15th and 24th percentile with 1 star for three straight years.
