What Belleville District 118 does

The School District of Belleville is a public K-12 school district headquartered in Belleville, Wisconsin, serving students from 4K through 12th grade across three campuses: Belleville Elementary School (K-6, 101 South Grant Street), Belleville Middle School (7-8, 635 West Church Street), and Belleville High School (9-12, 635 W Church Street). The district employs approximately 134 staff members, including teachers, paraprofessionals, custodians, administrators, office staff, and bus and van drivers, with a 13:1 student-teacher ratio and over 55% of faculty holding advanced degrees. Students in grades 7-12 participate in a 1:1 Chromebook take-home program, while K-6 students use Chromebooks at school; all students access applications through a Clever portal.

The district's core academic program includes AP courses (earning an AP Honor Roll Silver Award), dual credit opportunities, Project Lead the Way STEM pathways (Distinguished District 2020-21 and 2021-22), the Wildcat Manufacturing student-run enterprise, School-to-Careers Youth Apprenticeships, DECA, FFA, National Honor Society, Science Olympiad, fine arts, and 12 no-cut athletic programs competing in the Capitol Conference. Auxiliary operations include the Belleville Aquatic Center, summer school, food service (with federal nutrition program participation), transportation, health services (including a district nurse, school psychologist, and Zen Den SEL program), and Community Education/Recreation programs in partnership with CESA 2. Technology platforms include Skyward Family Access for student information, ParentSquare for district-wide family communications with automatic translation, RevTrak for fee management (implemented July 2024), and Vanco Events for ticketing.

The district operates as a Wisconsin government public entity governed by an elected school board, with no private or corporate ownership. Revenue is derived from local property tax levies, Wisconsin state equalization aid, federal nutrition reimbursements, voter-approved operational referendums, and transaction-based fees (aquatic center admissions, student supply fees of $20-$40, summer school tuition for non-residents). The district's revenue limit was $12,280 per member for 2024-25, per-pupil spending is $11,806 (below the state average of $12,929), and an April 2025 operational referendum was approved authorizing $2,850,000 in annual additional revenue for 2025-26 and 2026-27, increasing to $3,100,000 in 2027-28. The district ranks in the top 20% of Wisconsin public school districts and 6th of 16 Dane County districts, with a state report card score of 74.7 ("Exceeds Expectations"), a 92-93% high school graduation rate, and a 68% college and post-secondary enrollment rate.
