Pardeeville Middle is the standout, ranking 133rd of 643 schools (79th percentile, 4 stars) after climbing from the 47th percentile two years earlier. Its 8th grade social studies score of 83.67% proficient is the highest in the dataset and 19.04 points above the state, joined by strong science, 6th grade ELA and math, and 8th grade math results. The caution is 5th grade, where ELA was 48.28% and math 37.93%, both below state. Pardeeville High improved from the 33rd to the 61st percentile (3 stars), graduates 94.8% of students against the state's 92.0%, and beats the state in social studies, ELA, and science; math is its weak point at 40.00% vs 42.93%. Pardeeville Elementary is the main concern, at the 35th percentile (2 stars), with 3rd grade math 26.18 points below state and 4th grade math 14.77 points below state.

Science and social studies are district-wide strengths, and chronic absenteeism is low everywhere: 6.3% at the elementary, 7.0% at the high school, and 10.0% at the middle school, all well below Wisconsin's 17.3%. Notably, the middle school has the lowest per-student spending ($12,649) and highest student-teacher ratio (17.2) yet the best results, while the elementary spends more ($15,032) with a smaller ratio (13.2) and ranks lower. The district's 54th percentile average reflects a strong middle school, an improving high school, and an elementary school needing support in early math.
