Summary

Mount Horeb Intermediate is a grades 3–5 elementary school in Mount Horeb, Wisconsin — a small community just west of Madison — serving 508 students as part of the Mount Horeb Area School District, which ranks 44th of 432 districts statewide (90th percentile, 5 stars).

The school has been a stable high performer for a decade. In 2025–2026 it ranked 196th of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools (81st percentile, 4 stars), and its percentile has stayed within a narrow 78–84 band since 2015–2016. Achievement is above the state average in every tested subject and grade, and mathematics is the standout: all three tested grades were above 70% proficient, with 3rd grade math at 74.07%, about 19 points above the state. Attendance is another strength — chronic absenteeism was 5.5% in 2024–2025, well below the district's 7.4% and the state's 17.3%, and down sharply from 17.8% in 2021–2022.

Compared with nearby schools, Mount Horeb Intermediate outperformed Sugar Creek Elementary and Country View Elementary in nearly every grade and subject, and it does so with the lowest per-student spending in the comparison group ($15,350) and a higher student-teacher ratio (14.0) than most peers — a sign of relative efficiency. Against the Middleton-Cross Plains Area School District schools, however, it is often lower, particularly behind Pope Farm Elementary, West Middleton Elementary, and Park Elementary in 3rd/4th grade ELA, 4th grade social studies, and science. The clearest relative gap is with low-income students, whose rankings have recently hovered around the state average (52nd percentile in 2025–2026) versus roughly the 80th percentile overall. Overall, this is a stable, high-performing, efficient school with strong attendance and above-state achievement in all core subjects.
