Summary:
ZIP code 53083 (Sheboygan and Howards Grove, WI) contains six elementary schools serving roughly 1,877 students across two districts — four in Sheboygan Area School District and one in Howards Grove School District. Grade spans differ: most run PK–5, Northview Elementary runs PK–4, and Lake Country Academy - Charter is the only PK–8 building and the largest school here, while Etude Elementary is the smallest.
Results vary widely. Etude Elementary and Lincoln-Erdman Elementary both rank at the 73rd percentile with 4 stars — Etude holds the ZIP's top K–5 ELA average (65.5%), and Lincoln-Erdman the top math average (70.2%) plus the lowest chronic absenteeism (4.8%). Northview Elementary, from the higher-rated district, claims the strongest single results (88.52% 4th grade math) but has slid from the 88th to the 59th percentile in three years. Cooper Elementary (15th percentile) and Pigeon River Elementary (28th percentile) are the lowest performers, each at 1 star.
Spending and class size line up poorly with results: Cooper spends the most ($16,427) with the smallest classes (12.2:1) yet scores lowest, while Etude spends the least ($11,486) with the largest classes (16.8:1) and posts top results. Poverty tracks performance — the two highest-poverty schools rank lowest, though Etude outperforms schools with far lower poverty rates. Attendance is a uniform strength: every school here beats the state and district chronic absenteeism rates. Early-grade math at Cooper and Pigeon River is the most concentrated weakness.
