Summary:

ZIP code 56080 has just one elementary school: St. Clair Elementary, a PK–6 public school in the St. Clair Public School District with 411 students. Because it is the only elementary option in the area, families here have a single choice, and it is a relatively strong one for a smaller community. About 20.44% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch in 2024–25, and the student-teacher ratio was 17.1.

Math and reading are the school's clear strengths. In 2025–26, all-grade math proficiency was 58.1, above both the district's 46 and the state's 44.9, while reading was 62.9, above the district's 56.5 and the state's 48.6. Third grade stood out most: math 80.4 and reading 74, versus state marks of 57.9 and 46.8. Fourth grade was also strong, with math 70.8 and reading 61.6, and sixth grade came in modestly above state in both subjects. Fifth grade was mixed — reading was strong at 63 versus the state's 54.5, but math lagged at 36.4 versus 41.9.

Science is the biggest concern. All-grade science dropped from 31.75 in 2024–25 to 19.3 in 2025–26, moving from above the state average to below it, and the fifth-grade science result of 19.3 also trails the state's 25.9. The school's state rank has also slipped, from 103rd of 881 in 2023–24 to 176th of 872 and then 245th of 869, with its percentile falling from 88 to 80 to 72. It still holds 4 stars each year, ahead of the district's 3 stars, and its latest percentile of 72 remains above the district's 67.
