Best Public Schools in Zip Code 53013

ZIP code 53013 covers Cedar Grove, Wisconsin, and is served by four schools in the Cedar Grove-Belgium Area School District — Cedar Grove-Belgium Elementary (PK–4, 310 students), Cedar Grove-Belgium Middle (5–8, 252), Cedar Grove-Belgium High (9–12, 265), and Rocket Academy (11–12, 23), for a total listed enrollment of 850. The elementary and middle schools share a campus address, while Rocket Academy shares the high school's address, so families can expect campus-level configurations.

The three comprehensive schools all outperform the state by wide margins. Cedar Grove-Belgium Middle is the academic standout: 5 stars in two of the last three years, 93rd percentile in 2025–2026, and every listed test score above the state average — including 7th grade ELA at 87.5% proficient versus the state's 55.33%. It does this with the lowest per-student spending ($17,892) and the highest student-teacher ratio (15.7) among the three comprehensive schools. Cedar Grove-Belgium High posts a 100% graduation rate and strong ACT results, though 10th grade Social Studies dropped from 63.49% in 2024–2025 to 40% in 2025–2026, falling below the state. Cedar Grove-Belgium Elementary earned 4 stars three years running and scores above state averages in every listed test, despite having the area's highest free/reduced lunch rate at 23.23%.

Chronic absenteeism is strong across the board: Elementary 3.6%, Middle 5.6%, High 7.0%, and Rocket Academy 0.0% — all below the district's 5.2% and far below the state's 17.3%. Rocket Academy is the clear outlier: 0 stars, 10th percentile, ACT proficiency of 12.5% in ELA and Math, a 90% graduation rate, and 3.3% dropout, despite the highest per-student spending ($27,745). With only 23 students, its figures can swing sharply year to year, so interpret them cautiously. Notably, poverty levels, spending, and class size do not track performance in any simple way here.
