Summary:
ZIP code 53034 covers Hustisford, Wisconsin, and contains a single public elementary school — John Hustis Elementary, part of the Hustisford School District — serving grades PK–5 to 117 students.
Because it is the only elementary school in the area, there is no local comparison to make, but its results are strong in several respects. Attendance is the clearest strength: chronic absenteeism was 5.8% in 2024–2025, essentially matching the district's 5.9% and far below Wisconsin's 17.3%. In 2025–2026, the school scored above the state on 6 of 8 reported grade-level Forward Exam tests, and grade 4 was a consistent bright spot, beating the state in ELA, math, social studies and science in both years — social studies reached 84.21% in 2024–2025 and science improved from 52.63% to 60.00% in 2025–2026. Resources appear favorable as well, with an 11.5:1 student-teacher ratio, $16,720 in per-student spending, and 35.04% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.
There are also areas to watch. The school's rank has slipped from the 78th percentile with 4 stars in 2023–2024 to the 65th percentile with 3 stars, then to the 54th percentile with 3 stars in 2025–2026; the district itself ranks 199 of 432 statewide with 3 stars. Grade 5 math was below the state in both years (38.89% vs. 52.58%, then 43.75% vs. 51.81%), and grade 3 ELA dropped sharply from 66.67% to 41.18%. Grade 5 ELA showed the largest gain, rising from 44.44% to 68.75%. With only about 15–20 students per grade, single-year swings should be read with caution.
