Summary

Spring Valley Elementary is a PK–5 school with 317 students in Spring Valley, Wisconsin, part of the Spring Valley School District, which ranks 55th of 432 Wisconsin districts (87th percentile, 4 stars) — the strongest district ranking among surrounding communities. The school itself ranked 260th of 1,039 in 2025–2026 (75th percentile, 4 stars), after climbing from the 51st percentile in 2021–2022 to the 86th percentile in 2024–2025, followed by a modest slip this year.

On the 2025–2026 Forward Exam, Spring Valley scored above the state average in every reported subject and grade. Averaged across tested grades, ELA proficiency was about 63.5% and math about 68.2%, versus state averages near 53%. Fifth grade is a clear bright spot: 70.21% in ELA and 76.60% in math, both the highest among nearby schools in those grades. Spring Valley is not the top scorer everywhere, though — Greenwood Elementary in the River Falls School District averaged higher (about 73.9% ELA, 79.5% math), and Elmwood Elementary was also strong in the early grades. Spring Valley generally outscored the Menomonie elementary schools.

Attendance is a signature strength: chronic absenteeism was 2.6% in 2024–2025, far below the district's 6.3% and the state's 17.3%, and down from 31.1% in 2020–2021. Only Plum City Elementary reported lower nearby, at 0.0%. The school is also unusually effective with low-income students, whose statewide subgroup rank was 18 of 848 (98th percentile, 5 stars), and with special education students (82nd percentile, 4 stars). With mid-range spending of $14,931 per student and a 13.9 student-teacher ratio, Spring Valley delivers above-state results efficiently. Some 2024–2025 scores were exceptionally high before easing in 2025–2026, which may reflect cohort variation worth watching.
