Summary:
ZIP code 54739, which covers Elk Mound, Wisconsin, is served by a single public elementary school: Mound View Elementary, a PK–4 school with 456 students in the Elk Mound Area School District. Because it is the only elementary school in the area, it is the sole local public option, so the most useful comparisons are against district and state averages rather than other local schools.
Mound View performs well above Wisconsin averages. Every reported Forward Exam proficiency rate in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026 exceeded the state average, with 4th grade mathematics and 4th grade social studies the strongest results: social studies reached 83.54% (18.03 points above state) in 2025–2026, and 4th grade math reached 72.15% (19.28 points above state). Third grade mathematics improved sharply, rising 12.20 points from 55.70% to 67.90%. Chronic absenteeism is just 2.9%, far below the district's 4.0% and the state's 17.3%, which points to strong student engagement. About 25.66% of students are eligible for free or reduced lunch, per-student spending is $13,018, and the student-teacher ratio is 13.6.
Watch points: 4th grade English language arts fell 10.94 points (from 72.97% to 62.03%) and 4th grade science slipped 5.71 points (from 70.27% to 64.56%), though both remain above state averages. Statewide, the school ranked 199th of 1,061 (81st percentile) in 2023–2024, 238th of 1,044 (77th) in 2024–2025, and 247th of 1,039 (76th) in 2025–2026 — a mild slide, but still a top-quartile ranking and a 4-star rating in each of those years. Year-over-year changes likely reflect different student cohorts rather than the same students.
