Summary

Somerset Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in the Somerset School District in Wisconsin, with 567 students and a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school consistently outperforms the state average in proficiency rates across various subjects and grade levels on the Forward Exam, particularly in Social Studies and Science. Its 4th-grade proficiency rates in 2024-2025 were 65.22% in ELA, 57.61% in Math, 70.65% in Social Studies, and 66.3% in Science, all higher than the state averages. The school's performance is also noteworthy for male students and students with special needs, ranking in the top half of Wisconsin elementary schools in these subgroups. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 3.0% in 2022-2023 to 17.7% in 2023-2024, which is an area of concern.

Compared to nearby schools in the Hudson School District, Somerset Elementary generally performs on par or slightly better in terms of student proficiency rates and school rankings. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate is higher than the nearby Hudson schools, which all reported 17.7% chronic absenteeism in 2023-2024. Additionally, Somerset Elementary spends more per student ($13,161 in 2020-2021) compared to the state average, which may contribute to its stronger academic performance, but the school's student-teacher ratio of 16.2 in 2023-2024 is higher than the nearby Hudson schools, which have lower ratios around 12-14 students per teacher.
