Summary:
ZIP code 53078 is served by a single public school: Honor Intermediate, a middle school for grades 5–8 with 128 students in Rubicon, Wisconsin, part of the Herman-Neosho-Rubicon School District. Because there is only one school here, families cannot compare options within the ZIP code — but they can see how this school has changed over time and how it compares with its district and the state.
Honor Intermediate has improved dramatically. Its state rank went from 499 of 641 (22nd percentile, 1 star) in 2023–2024, to 217 of 628 (65th percentile, 3 stars) in 2024–2025, to 155 of 643 (76th percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–2026 — a move from the bottom quarter to the top quarter of schools. The district ranks 93 of 432 districts, at the 78th percentile with 4 stars. On the 2025–2026 Forward Exam, the school averaged 63.96% proficient across listed tests versus 54.95% statewide. Eighth grade was especially strong: math and social studies each reached 81.82% proficient, far above the state's 53.67% and 64.63%. Seventh grade math (70.00% vs. 55.67%) and sixth grade English language arts (69.70% vs. 54.95%) were also well ahead.
The clearest area for growth is fifth grade, where 2025–2026 ELA (52.94% vs. 53.63%) and math (50.00% vs. 51.81%) came in slightly below state levels. Chronic absenteeism is 8.4% — less than half the state's 17.3%, though above the district's 5.0% — and the dropout rate is 0.0%, matching the district and below the state's 1.1%. Per-student spending is $16,218, the student-teacher ratio is 14.4, and 17.19% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. With roughly 32 students per grade, a single student's result can shift a grade-level percentage by about 3 points, so small year-to-year changes should be interpreted cautiously.
