Summary:
ZIP code 53074 is home to four public schools — two elementary schools serving grades PK–4, one middle school serving grades 5–8, and one high school serving grades 9–12 — all part of the Port Washington-Saukville School District, which ranks 51st of 432 Wisconsin districts (88th percentile, 4 stars). Total enrollment across the four schools is 2,112 students: Port Washington High (809 students), Thomas Jefferson Middle (677), Dunwiddie Elementary (324), and Lincoln Elementary (302). The high school and middle school together account for about 70% of the ZIP's listed enrollment.
Dunwiddie Elementary is the strongest current academic standout, ranking 74th of 1,039 elementary schools statewide (93rd percentile, 5 stars), with 4th-grade social studies at 88.14% and 4th-grade science at 81.36% — 27.90 points above the state's 53.46%. It posts these results while having the highest free/reduced-lunch rate in the ZIP at 32.72%. Port Washington High is the high-school standout, ranking 43rd of 533 (92nd percentile, 5 stars) for a second straight year, with a 95.8% graduation rate and a 0.5% dropout rate — both better than state figures.
Lincoln Elementary has the lowest chronic absenteeism at 4.5% and the lowest free/reduced-lunch rate at 20.86%, but its rank has slipped from 92nd percentile and 5 stars in 2023–2024 to 81st percentile and 4 stars currently. Thomas Jefferson Middle ranks 78th percentile (4 stars), has the ZIP's lowest student-teacher ratio at 12.2, and low chronic absenteeism at 7.0%. Every current reported test score in the ZIP beats the state average, and all four schools rank at or above the 78th percentile. Port Washington High's 15.4% chronic absenteeism is a local outlier — above the district's 9.6% but still below the state's 17.3%.
