Summary:
Zip code 53005 is home to five schools — three elementary schools and two high schools — all part of Elmbrook School District, which ranks 9th of 432 districts in Wisconsin (98th percentile, 5 stars). Together they serve about 4,952 students, split fairly evenly between the high schools (roughly 52%) and the elementary schools (roughly 48%). Because the list contains no middle or alternative schools, it does not cover the full PK–12 pipeline inside this zip code. Every school here earns 5 stars and ranks in the 95th percentile or higher statewide, making this one of the strongest clusters of schools in Wisconsin.
Among the high schools, Brookfield East High is the top-ranked school in the area, 12th of 533 Wisconsin high schools (98th percentile), with a 97.8% graduation rate, a 0.0% dropout rate, and the best math (76.55%) and science (72.8%) results. Brookfield Central High ranks 16th of 533 (97th percentile) and leads in English language arts (78.45%) and social studies (72.67%), with a 97.0% graduation rate and lower chronic absenteeism (3.3% versus 6.6%). Central's science score (65.72%) trails East and the district average (69.65%), though it remains far above the state (43.2%).
Among the elementary schools, Burleigh Elementary ranks 34th of 1,039 (97th percentile) and posts the strongest overall test averages plus the lowest absenteeism, at 1.2%. Swanson Elementary (39th, 96th percentile) has the highest science score (80.0%) and the lowest student-teacher ratio (15.4). Dixon Elementary (48th, 95th percentile) has the highest math average and the biggest rank improvement, from 108th to 48th. Notably, higher spending and smaller classes do not reliably predict results here — Dixon spends the least ($13,831) yet leads elementary math.
