Summary:

ZIP code 53044, which covers Kohler, Wisconsin, is served by a single elementary school: Kohler Elementary, part of the Kohler School District. It serves grades PK–5 with 337 students. Since it is the only elementary school in the area, there are no local schools to compare it against; the most useful comparisons are between this school and statewide averages, between school years, and across subjects and grade levels.

By the measures in this data, Kohler Elementary is a top-tier Wisconsin school. It earned 5 stars and a 99th percentile ranking in each of the last three reported years — 8th of 1,061 schools in 2023–2024, 9th of 1,044 in 2024–2025, and 10th of 1,039 in 2025–2026. The Kohler School District ranks 8th of 432 districts statewide, at the 98th percentile with 5 stars. Forward Exam proficiency is well above the state in every reported subject and grade, with gaps of roughly 24 to 38 percentage points. The strongest result was 4th grade Social Studies at 94.34% in 2025–2026 (up slightly from 93.44%), while 4th grade Science posted the largest year-over-year gain, rising 6.71 points to 88.68%. School and district proficiency figures are identical in every reported row.

Two additional metrics stand out. Chronic absenteeism is 2.9%, far below the state rate of 17.3% and just under the district rate of 3.1%. The free/reduced lunch rate is very low at 0.89%, and resource indicators look favorable, with per-student spending of $13,860 and a 14:1 student-teacher ratio; no state comparison was provided for those two figures. The main internal area to watch is grade 5, which posts the school's lowest results — 5th grade Math was 76.12% in 2025–2026, down 4.24 points from 80.36%, and 5th grade ELA was 80.60% — though both remain well above state averages.
