Parents will find the strongest outcomes at the elementary and middle levels. Fairview Elementary and Parkview Elementary are the academic anchors: both earned 5 stars recently and remain 4-star schools, with average proficiency near 70% against a state average of roughly 55%. Fairview is especially strong in 4th grade; Parkview is especially strong in 3rd. Riverview Middle has improved steadily, climbing from the 63rd to the 73rd percentile and from 3 to 4 stars, with all reported middle-school tests above state rates.

Plymouth High presents a mixed picture: math, science, and social studies exceed state averages, but English language arts sits slightly below, and chronic absenteeism is 20.6%, the highest in the area. Horizon Elementary is the weakest performer but improved sharply, moving from 2 to 3 stars and from the 33rd to the 53rd percentile. The DOC: Kettle Moraine Correctional Institution should be viewed separately, as it cannot be compared academically.
