Summary

Walworth Elementary is a PK–8 public school in Walworth, Wisconsin, serving 409 students as the only school in the Walworth J1 School District. It ranks 669th of 1,039 Wisconsin schools in 2025–2026, placing it at the 36th percentile with 2 stars — a clear climb from the 19th–20th percentile in 2020–2021 and 2021–2022, but still below the state median. About 47.7% of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, less than Sharon Community, Darien Elementary, and Turtle Creek Elementary but more than the Lake Geneva J1 schools and Fontana Elementary, Williams Bay Elementary, and Reek Elementary.

Academically, English language arts is the strongest subject: an average of 50.9% proficiency versus the state's 54.0%, with grades 3, 5, and 6 above state and grade 6 especially strong at 60.0%. Math is the biggest and most consistent weakness, averaging 40.2% versus 53.7% statewide, and science shows a similar 13-point gap at 39.6% versus 52.7%. Grade 8 is a pressure point, below state in every subject, with 33.33% in both math and science; nearby Fontana Elementary, which is also PK–8 and just 1.47 miles away, posted 71.43% in grade 8 math and 76.19% in science. Eastview Elementary's grade 4 math rate of 73.15% and Woods Elementary's grade 7 math rate of 91.67% also far exceed Walworth's results in those grades.

Walworth's operational strengths are notable. Chronic absenteeism fell from 29.7% in 2021–2022 to 11.8% in 2024–2025, better than the state's 17.3%, and the dropout rate has been 0.0% for five straight years. Per-student spending was $15,577, below most neighbors, with a student–teacher ratio of 13.6 — larger classes than most higher-performing nearby schools. Special education effectiveness improved from the 31st to the 53rd percentile, while effectiveness for low-income students remains in the bottom quartile (19th–25th percentile). Notably, Sharon Community has higher poverty and higher spending yet ranks higher overall, suggesting school practices and targeted supports matter as much as resources.

Open Quote A terrible school for older middle school students. Focus is all on the little kids. Teachers at the middle school level teach with no imagination. The technology is old. There is issues with teacher morale within the building toward the superintendent and I'm not sure a small school like Walworth has to have both a full time superintendent and a principal. The superintendent spends an hour each day supervising student eating in the cafeteria. Sports programs are run like intramural programs. There are much better schools to attend in Wisconsin.
