Summary:
ZIP code 53036 contains a single public elementary school: Ixonia Elementary, which serves grades PK–4 with 256 students as part of the Oconomowoc Area School District. Since it is the only school in the area, there are no neighborhood school-to-school comparisons to make; the most useful benchmarks are the district, the state, and the school's own prior-year results. Parents should know that the district itself is a high performer, ranked 36th of 432 Wisconsin districts (92nd percentile, 5 stars), which makes it a demanding standard to measure against.
The school's clearest strengths are attendance and science. Chronic absenteeism in 2024–2025 was just 3.5%, compared with 11.5% in the district and 17.3% statewide — a standout figure. In 2025–2026, grade 4 science proficiency was 72.55%, which is 19.09 points above the state and only 1.82 points below the district. Grade 4 social studies was 74.51%, 9.00 points above the state. English Language Arts was above the state in both tested grades (63.16% in grade 3 and 66.67% in grade 4). Overall, the school was above the state in all six reported subject areas.
The main concern is mathematics, and the comparison to the district. The school trailed the district in every reported subject, with the widest gaps in math: 16.81 points in grade 3 and 22.56 points in grade 4. Grade 4 math dropped 14.33 points year over year (from 69.23% to 54.90%), and grade 3 math fell 7.39 points. The school's percentile rank has drifted from 84 to 79 to 70 over three years, though it still holds 4 stars. Context matters: with only grades 3 and 4 tested at a small school, yearly swings can be volatile. The school also reports 17.19% free/reduced lunch, $15,475 per-student spending, and a 13:1 student-teacher ratio.
