Summary:
ZIP code 53064 in Hartland, Wisconsin contains just one public school — North Lake Elementary, a PK–8 school serving 365 students as part of the North Lake School District.
That single school is a standout on nearly every measure in the data. Its district ranks 10th out of 432 Wisconsin districts — the 98th percentile, with 5 stars — and the school's own rank history shows three straight years of 5-star ratings while improving from the 91st percentile in 2023–2024 and 2024–2025 to the 94th percentile in 2025–2026, moving to 64th of 1,039 schools from 95th the year before. Every reported Forward Exam proficiency score in 2025–2026 sits above the Wisconsin average. ELA is a particular strength, averaging 87.4% versus the state's 54.0% — a gap of +33.4 percentage points — with grades 5, 6 and 7 all above 90% proficiency. Math averages 77.7% against the state's 53.7%, social studies 85.1% versus 65.1%, and science 77.0% versus 52.7%. Even the narrowest single gap, 4th-grade math at 64.86%, is +11.99 points above the state's 52.87%.
Attendance and dropout figures reinforce the academic picture: chronic absenteeism is 6.9%, less than half the state's 17.3%, and the dropout rate is 0.0% versus 1.1% statewide. Per-student spending is $12,571 and the student-teacher ratio is 14.6, implying roughly 25 instructional staff FTE at current enrollment, though the ratio is not a direct teacher count. Free/reduced-price lunch enrollment is just 1.1%, which suggests a relatively affluent student population and is useful context when interpreting the results. Because district and school values are identical for most metrics and this is a one-school ZIP, no within-53064 comparisons are possible; the meaningful comparison is North Lake Elementary against the state.
