Summary:

Zip code 57353 has one elementary school, Iroquois Elementary - 04, serving prekindergarten through grade 5, with 114 students. The most important finding for parents is that its 2025–2026 proficiency rates were well below state results in both subjects: 26% in English language arts (ELA) versus 49% statewide, and 21% in mathematics versus 44%.

There is no local top-versus-bottom comparison because Iroquois is the only school in the list. Compared with the Iroquois School District 02-3, the school was 3 percentage points lower in ELA (26% versus 30%) but 7 points higher in mathematics (21% versus 14%). SchoolDigger ranked the school 186th out of 203 statewide, in the 8th percentile, with 0 stars; the district ranked 122nd out of 126, in the 3rd percentile.

Results declined overall from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, especially in mathematics: ELA fell 2 percentage points, from 29% to 26%, while mathematics fell 12 points, from 33% to 21%. The school’s average across those subjects decreased by 7 points, compared with a 1-point decline in the state average. One brighter result was fifth-grade science, which rose from 0% to 21%, though it remained 20 points below the state. Attendance is a relative strength: chronic absenteeism was 6%, compared with 12% in the district and 20% statewide. The school’s student–teacher ratio was 11.8:1, and 50% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in school year 2024–2025; these figures provide context, not an explanation for achievement. With only one school in the area, the data cannot show how resources or student backgrounds compare across local schools.
