Summary:
ZIP code 53024 contains four public schools — two elementary schools serving PK–4, one middle school serving grades 5–8, and one high school serving grades 9–12 — all part of the Grafton School District, with 2,192 students enrolled in total. The district ranks 18th of 432 Wisconsin districts, placing it in the 96th percentile with 5 stars, and each of its four schools also earned 5 stars for 2025–2026.
Among the four, Kennedy Elementary stands out: ranked 28th of 1,039 elementary schools (97th percentile), it has the ZIP's highest simple average proficiency at 83.9%, including 3rd grade math at 89.04% and 3rd grade ELA at 87.67%. Woodview Elementary ranks 58th of 1,039 (94th percentile) and, despite the highest free/reduced lunch rate here at 18.18%, still clears state averages by wide margins; it also has the lowest student-teacher ratio at 14.6. John Long Middle ranks 44th of 643 (93rd percentile) and posts the lowest chronic absenteeism in the ZIP at 3.1%. Grafton High ranks 42nd of 533 (92nd percentile), with elite outcomes — 99.4% graduation, 0.0% dropout, 5.9% chronic absenteeism — though its rank eased from 14th the prior year and its 2025–2026 scores dipped in all four reported subjects.
Absenteeism is remarkably low everywhere, from 3.1% at the middle school to 5.9% at the high school, all far below the state's 17.3%. Every school beats the state in every reported 2025–2026 test metric. Note that grade 5 moved to the middle school in 2025–2026, so year-over-year comparisons for the elementary and middle grades are less like-for-like. Spending and staffing ratios do not track neatly with results here.
