Summary:
ZIP code 53072 covers Pewaukee, Wisconsin, and is home to four public schools serving prekindergarten through 12th grade — two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school — all within the Pewaukee School District, with a combined enrollment of 2,907 students.
The district is one of the strongest in Wisconsin, ranked 26th of 432 at the 94th percentile with 5 stars, and every ranked school lands in the top 10% statewide. Pewaukee High (889 students) leads the group: 20th of 533 schools, 96th percentile, 5 stars, a 98.1% graduation rate versus the state's 92.0%, and ACT scores far above the state — Science 76.53% vs. 43.20%. Horizon School (647 students, grades 3–5) ranks 85th of 1,039 at the 92nd percentile with 5 stars, has the lowest chronic absenteeism at 5.5%, and posts the highest single test result in the group, 87.50% in 4th-grade Social Studies. Asa Clark Middle (623 students) ranks 67th of 643 at the 90th percentile with 4 stars, excelling in math (7th grade 83.81%, 8th grade 80.00%), though its 8th-grade Science gap over the state is its smallest at +6.68 points. Pewaukee Lake Elementary serves PK–2, so it has no state test scores or rank; its 6.2% absenteeism and 14.2 student-teacher ratio still suggest a solid early-grades foundation.
Across the district, free/reduced lunch hovers near 11% and student-teacher ratios run 14.2 to 17.1 — favorable conditions that support strong results. Every school's chronic absenteeism sits well below Wisconsin's 17.3%, and per-student spending ranges from $12,272 at Horizon to $15,450 at Pewaukee High, showing that spending alone does not drive outcomes. Two trends to watch: Asa Clark's 8th-grade Science fell from 67.01% to 58.54%, and Pewaukee High's 10th-grade Social Studies dropped from 73.24% to 64.68%, though both remain above state averages.
