Summary:
Zip code 54466 has just one elementary school — Pittsville Elementary in Pittsville, WI — and although it is listed as an elementary school, it actually serves grades PK–8, making it a combined elementary and middle school with 357 students in the Pittsville School District.
Several things stand out in a positive way. Attendance is a real strength: chronic absenteeism is 8.5%, better than the district's 9.8% and well below Wisconsin's 17.3%, even though 46.22% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The dropout rate is 0.0% at both the school and district level, compared with 1.1% statewide, and the student-teacher ratio of 11.7 is relatively low, suggesting favorable staffing. Per-student spending is reported at $16,581 for 2024–2025, with no state comparator available in this data. Academically, math is the bright spot: in 2025–2026 the school averaged 55.70% proficient versus the state's 53.73%, and in 2024–2025 it was much stronger at 64.77% versus 53.85%. Fifth and sixth grade math led the way, at 68.97% and 61.76% respectively.
There are also clear concerns. The school's rank has fallen from 4 stars and the 71st percentile in 2023–2024 to 2 stars and the 43rd percentile in 2025–2026 — about the district's own profile of 42nd percentile and 2 stars (district rank 250 of 432). Math cooled noticeably year over year, dropping about 9 points, and 4th grade math was a weak point at 35.90% versus 52.87% statewide. English language arts has persistent gaps in grades 4 and 5, where 5th grade ELA came in at 34.48% versus 53.63% state, while grades 6 and 7 were above state. Social studies and science improved substantially year over year but remain below state averages. With only 357 students across PK–8, grade-level results reflect small cohorts, so single-year swings should be read with caution.
