Summary

Bluff View Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in the Prairie du Chien Area School District, located in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin. With 184 students, the school consistently outperforms the state average in academic proficiency across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics.

One of Bluff View Elementary's key strengths is its performance for specific student subgroups. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school ranked in the top 25% of Wisconsin elementary schools for both special education students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate, while increasing in recent years, remains lower than the state average.

While Bluff View Elementary generally outperforms the nearby BA Kennedy School, also part of the Prairie du Chien Area School District, the Wauzeka Elementary School, which is in a different district, has outperformed Bluff View in several academic areas, particularly in Mathematics. Overall, Bluff View Elementary is a strong-performing school, but there may be opportunities to address fluctuations in subgroup performance and maintain its academic excellence.
