The first school in Reedsburg was organized in 1849 and served 7 students at first. The next year, a school district was formed and a house on Walnut Street was remodeled into a school house.
In 2010 the school district started a 4 year old kindergarten program in 2 schools, Pineview and Westside Elementary.
In 2017 a referendum was held to consider the closing of South School and opening a new elementary school. The referendum passed and a $32,000,000 million school was built on the edge of the city. The new school, named Prairie Ridge Intermediate School, was opened in 2019. Subsequently, South School was closed and later redeveloped into apartments.
