Summary:
ZIP code 53017, covering Colgate, Wisconsin, has just one elementary school: Amy Belle Elementary, a PK–5 school with 356 students in the Germantown School District. Because it is the only elementary school in the area, there are no in-ZIP comparisons to make, but the school can be measured against its district and the state — and the district itself is high-performing, ranking 54th of 432 Wisconsin districts (88th percentile, 4 stars).
Amy Belle has been climbing steadily. It ranked 250th of 1,061 schools in 2023–2024 (76th percentile, 4 stars), 109th of 1,044 in 2024–2025 (90th percentile), and 65th of 1,039 in 2025–2026 (94th percentile, 5 stars). Math is the strongest core subject: in 2025–2026, math proficiency averaged 80.49% versus 75.56% in the district and 53.14% statewide, with grade 3 math reaching 83.33%. Grade 4 social studies posted the highest single result at 90.63%, ahead of the district (86.76%) and far ahead of the state (65.51%). Science improved the most year over year, rising from 68.42% to 78.13%. ELA averaged 73.06%, about even with the district but roughly 20 points above the state; grade 5 ELA (77.50%) was the one 2025–2026 measure where the school trailed the district (81.20%). Keep in mind that year-to-year changes reflect different grade-level cohorts, not the same students.
Chronic absenteeism is a standout strength: 3.2% at Amy Belle in 2024–2025, compared with 7.5% in the district and 17.3% statewide. For context, the school reports 16.29% free/reduced lunch, $13,273 in per-student spending, and a 15.2:1 student-teacher ratio; without district or state benchmarks for those figures, they are best read as background rather than as advantages or disadvantages. Overall, Amy Belle is a high-performing, improving school that outperforms both its district and the state in most reported subjects.
