Schools in Zip Code 53002

ZIP code 53002 covers Allenton, Wisconsin, and contains just one public school — Allenton Elementary, an elementary school serving pre-kindergarten through 5th grade with 417 students, part of the Slinger School District. Because there is only one school here, there is nothing to compare it against locally; the useful benchmarks are its own district and the state of Wisconsin.

Allenton Elementary is one of the strongest elementary schools in Wisconsin. It ranked 54th of 1,039 ranked elementary schools in 2025‑2026 — the 95th percentile, or a top‑5% school — after finishing 41st the year before and 20th two years prior. Its district is also high‑performing, ranked 19th of 432 districts statewide. Math is the school's signature strength: across grades 3–5, proficiency runs in the mid‑80s to low‑90s, compared with roughly the low 50s statewide, an advantage of about 31 to 39 points. Third‑grade math reached 92.31% proficient in 2025‑2026. English language arts is also strong, about 19 points above the state average (72.6 versus roughly 53 statewide), as are 4th‑grade science and social studies. Against its own district, the school beats district math in every tested grade, matches the district in social studies, and trails slightly in 3rd‑ and 4th‑grade ELA.

Two things stand out beyond test scores. Chronic absenteeism is 1.6% — under the district's 2.5% and roughly one‑eleventh of the state's 17.3% — meaning attendance is rarely a barrier to learning here. Meanwhile, 17.27% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, per‑student spending is $12,091, and the student‑teacher ratio is 16.2 to 1, so these results do not appear to come from unusually large resources. One pattern to watch: math outpaces ELA by roughly 14–17 points internally, ELA slipped slightly year over year (75.8 to 72.6) while science and social studies rose and math stayed flat, and the statewide rank has drifted gently from the top 2% to the top 5%. Science and social studies are tested only in 4th grade, so those numbers rest on a single small group and can swing more from year to year.
