Summary

Juda Elementary is a public PK–8 school serving 178 students in Juda, Wisconsin, a small rural community in Green County. It is the only building in the Juda School District covering these grades, and it ranks 466 of 1,039 schools statewide in 2025‑26 (55th percentile, 3 stars), while the district as a whole ranks 269 of 432 (38th percentile, 2 stars). The long-term record is notable: the school climbed from the 20th percentile (1 star) in 2020‑21 to the 70th percentile in 2024‑25, then slipped to the 55th percentile in 2025‑26 — still well above where it stood before 2020.

Among ten nearby schools, Juda serves by far the most economically disadvantaged population: 53.4% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, against a peer average of about 34.9%. Even so, its low-income students perform near the top of the state — the Low Socio Economic Status subgroup ranked in the 81st percentile (4 stars) in 2025‑26, the 82nd (4 stars) in 2024‑25, and the 92nd (5 stars) in 2023‑24. Attendance is a strength too, with 7.5% chronic absenteeism versus a state rate of 17.3% and a peer average of about 9.3%; only New Glarus Elementary (5.5%) and Abraham Lincoln Elementary (4.0%) do better locally. Juda spends $16,361 per student, about 7% above the peer average, with a 10.9:1 student–teacher ratio.

Math in the upper grades is the clearest soft spot. In 2025‑26 Juda's math proficiency trailed the state in grades 4, 6 and 8, and nearby schools with comparable grade bands post math averages in the 64–82% range — Albany Elementary and Abraham Lincoln Elementary near 72%, Northside Elementary near 70% and New Glarus Elementary near 82% — compared with Juda's roughly 53%. English language arts is a different story, averaging about 58.9% against a state figure of about 54.0%. One important caveat: Juda tests only about 12–18 students per grade, so one or two students can shift a grade-level rate by 5–8 points. Single-grade swings are best read as noise; multi-year patterns are the more reliable signal.
