Summary

Westview Elementary in Platteville, WI, is a 443-student school serving grades 1–4 in the Platteville School District, and it remains a high-performing, 4-star school even as its statewide rank has softened. In 2025-26 it ranked 250th of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools (76th percentile, 4 stars), down from 88th percentile in 2023-24 and 80th in 2024-25. The Platteville School District ranks 75th of 432 districts (83rd percentile, 4 stars), and Westview has earned 4 stars every year shown since 2016-17.

Academically, the school outperformed the state in all six reported 2025-26 Forward Exam areas. Its simple average was about 67.8% proficient versus about 55.4% for the state. Grade 4 is a clear strength: ELA proficiency was 69.17%, the highest among listed nearby schools; math was 70%, behind only Belmont Elementary at 86.36% and Potosi Elementary at 73.08%; social studies was 78.33%; and science was 65.83%. Grade 3 was more mixed, with math at 64.52% and ELA at 59.14%, above state averages but below some nearby schools such as Potosi Elementary. This is notable because 43.79% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch in 2024-25, per-pupil spending was $14,091, and the student-teacher ratio was 13.8—the highest among nearby schools.

Families should watch a few trends. Chronic absenteeism was 14.3% in 2024-25, better than the district’s 17.5% and the state’s 17.3%, but higher than nearby Winskill Elementary (5.2%), Potosi Elementary (5.1%), Belmont Elementary (5.4%), and Mineral Point Elementary (6.5%). The school’s 2025-26 subgroup rankings also show declines for English-language learners and students with disabilities, while low-income students remained above average. Overall, Westview Elementary is a strong 4-star choice with above-state achievement and standout grade 4 results, but the recent rank slide and absenteeism are areas to monitor.
