Summary:
Zip code 53170 is home to a single public school: Riverview Elementary, a PK–8 school with 449 students at 300 Prosser St in Silver Lake, Wisconsin. It is the only school in the Silver Lake J1 School District, making this a one-school district where all district figures and school figures are identical. Because there is no second school to compare against, the most useful comparison is between Riverview and the state of Wisconsin.
Riverview's standout strength is reading. Across grades 6–8, ELA proficiency averaged 79.3% in 2025-26, roughly 24 points above the state's 54.9%, and 7th grade ELA reached 85.4% — 30 points above state. Overall, the school outperformed the state on 10 of 16 tested grade-subjects in each of the past two years, and chronic absenteeism is 10.9% versus 17.3% statewide, meaning about 1 in 9 students is chronically absent compared with about 1 in 6 across Wisconsin.
The clearest weakness is early-grade math. Grades 3–5 math averaged 46.8% in 2025-26, about 6.4 points below the state, with 5th grade math at 42.6% — the lowest figure in the data. Math sits near the state average overall only because 6th and 7th grades perform above it. Parents should also note the ranking trend: the school slipped from the 80th percentile (4 stars) in 2023-24 to the 56th percentile (3 stars) in 2025-26, even as measured proficiency stayed about 6 points above the state average.
