Summary:
ZIP code 53588 in Spring Green, Wisconsin is home to two elementary schools — River Valley Intermediate School (grades 3–6, 324 students) and River Valley Elementary (PK–2, 258 students). Both sit on the same street (660 and 830 W Daley St) and belong to the River Valley School District, which enrolls 582 students across the two buildings and ranks 154 of 432 Wisconsin districts (64th percentile, 3 stars) — a solidly above-average position.
River Valley Intermediate School is the stronger performer, ranked 387 of 1039 schools (63rd percentile, 3 stars) and scoring above the state in 9 of 10 reported 2025–2026 results. Math is its signature: 62.4% average proficiency versus a 53.3% state average, with grade 6 math at 71.43% against 53.60% statewide, and an 8th-grade math result of 85.07% that is 32 points above the state in 2024–2025. Reading is softer — average ELA is 56.7% versus 53.6% statewide — and 3rd-grade ELA (47.37% vs. 52.08%) is the single below-state exception, even though that same grade is above state in math. Chronic absenteeism is 13.0%, better than both the district (17.1%) and state (17.3%).
River Valley Elementary stands out instead for attendance: 6.8% chronic absenteeism, roughly half the Intermediate school's rate and far below district and state, alongside the smallest class sizes (10.5:1) and the higher per-student spending ($19,959 vs. $17,162). Its achievement marks are weaker: all six of its 2024–2025 test results fall below the state average, and its most recent rank is 736 of 1044 (30th percentile, 1 star), down from 42nd percentile the prior year. Note that its tested grades (3–4) fall outside its current PK–2 span, suggesting a grade reconfiguration, so its scores reflect a population it no longer serves.
