Platteville maintains a small-town atmosphere despite being one of the largest and fastest growing cities in southwestern Wisconsin. Platteville exudes an old-world charm throughout its historic downtown district, brimming with eclectic shops and restaurants in rows of quaint, brick buildings. Platteville celebrates its agricultural roots with special events like the Dairy Days Festival, the Fall Harvest Dinner, and A Day on the Farm, which also foster a strong sense of community.
Located in the Driftless Region, Platteville is untouched by glaciers and distinctive for its limestone bluffs, valleys, and rolling hills. Fifteen city parks and more than 200 acres of open space provide abundant options for a variety of outdoor activities, including hiking, biking, fishing, and more.
Platteville is also home to the University of Wisconsin Platteville, the fastest growing school in the UW system. UW-Platteville supplies the community with an array of cultural and educational opportunities in addition to the traditional lighting of the “M” landmark. Platteville is just a one-hour drive away from Madison and a three-hour drive away from Chicago, should you crave the bustle of a larger city. Convenience to Highway 151 makes getting around from Platteville easy.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
