Summary:
ZIP code 53020 covers Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, and contains two public schools: Elkhart Lake-Glenbeulah Elementary (grades PK–4, 359 students) and Elkhart Lake High (grades 9–12, 155 students). Both belong to the Elkhart Lake-Glenbeulah School District, a two-building system with no middle school and about 514 students combined. The district itself holds a 5-star rating and ranks 17th of 432 Wisconsin districts (96th percentile).
Both schools score well above the state, but the elementary is the steadier performer. It earned 5 stars in all three years of rank history, landing between the 92nd and 98th percentile statewide, including 19th out of 1,044 elementary schools in 2024-25. Its proficiency results topped the state by more than 20 points in every tested grade and subject in 2024-25, with 4th-grade English language arts at 87.10% — a +33.2 point margin. Elkhart Lake High made the largest jump in the data, rising from 3 stars and the 67th percentile in 2024-25 to 5 stars and the 96th percentile in 2025-26, with math proficiency climbing from 44.19% to 74.29%. Parents should read that as one strong year on a small base of roughly 32–35 test-takers.
Other standout figures: a 100% graduation rate against 92% statewide, 0.0% dropout at both schools, and chronic absenteeism of 1.8% at the elementary and 2.6% at the high school — roughly one-seventh of the state's 17.3%. Spending per student is $12,729 at the elementary and $16,672 at the high school, reflecting the fixed costs of a small high school. The clearest watch item is 4th-grade math, which dropped from 78.57% to 58.06%, leaving only a +5.2 point margin over the state.
