Summary

Riverview Elementary is a PK–8 school in Silver Lake, Wisconsin, serving 449 students and appearing to be the main reporting school in the Silver Lake J1 School District, which ranks in the upper third of Wisconsin districts at the 67th percentile.

In 2025-2026, Riverview ranked 458th of 1,039 schools (56th percentile, 3 stars). That is still above the state median, but it marks a decline from 378th of 1,044 (64th percentile) in 2024-2025 and from several years in the 80th–89th percentile before that. Among nearby schools, Randall Consolidated School (82nd percentile) and Bristol Elementary (73rd) currently rank higher, while Salem Elementary, Lakewood Elementary, Brookwood Elementary, and Brookwood Middle rank lower. Trevor-Wilmot Grade is similar in size and rank.

English language arts is a clear strength, especially in grades 6–8, where proficiency was 76.92%, 85.37%, and 75.56% against state values near 55%. Science also beats the state, and special education effectiveness is exceptional, at the 90th percentile in 2025-2026. Math is the main gap: it trailed the state in grades 3, 5, and 8 and ranked behind several nearby schools. Chronic absenteeism of 10.9% is well below the state's 17.3%, though the reported dropout rate of 2.9% is above the state's 1.1% and worth monitoring in a PK–8 setting. Spending is $13,496 per student with a 14.8:1 student-teacher ratio — less than many neighbors — so the strong ELA and science results stand out as efficient, while math is the most useful area for improvement.
