About Boscobel Area Schools

The Boscobel Area School District serves approximately 700 students in grades PK–12 across 185 square miles, including the City of Boscobel, the Village of Woodman, and parts of Grant, Crawford, and Richland Counties. We offer the best of both worlds—a welcoming small-town atmosphere and the high-quality educational opportunities often found in larger districts.

Guided by our mission to Lead. Engage. Discover., we believe every child has unique value and the potential to thrive. Our vision—Developing today’s child for tomorrow’s world—drives our commitment to academic excellence, student growth, and strong community partnerships.

We prepare students to lead with confidence through rigorous academics, innovative instruction, and access to digital tools that support independent learning. We engage families and the community through open communication and collaboration, creating a safe, respectful environment for all. We help students discover their strengths and passions through diverse learning opportunities, extracurriculars, and real-world experiences.

Boscobel Area Schools are committed to equity and inclusion, ensuring every child—including those with disabilities or experiencing homelessness—has access to a free, appropriate public education. With a focus on the whole child, we support academic, social, and emotional growth at every level.

Here, students are empowered to become capable, compassionate, and community-minded individuals—ready to lead, engage, and discover their future.

The Boscobel Area School District Offices building features a modern design with stone and metal accents.

About Our Community

Boscobel is known as Wisconsin’s Outdoor Recreation Destination! Nestled in the nature-rich Wisconsin River Valley in Southwest Wisconsin, the City of Boscobel has a population of approximately 3,300 people.

The economic engine of this beautiful rural community includes farming, with some industry. Boscobel also has a vibrantly growing downtown.

This river and bluff area is a recreation destination for nature lovers, offering boating, hunting, fishing, and biking.

Boscobel, Wisconsin is also the birthplace of the Gideon Bible. The name “Boscobel” dates back to the mid-1850s, when the Milwaukee and Mississippi Railroad established a station here.

An official of the railroad, impressed by the panoramic beauty of the area, dubbed the new depot “Bosque Belle” — French for “beautiful wood.”
