Summary:
ZIP code 53083 is home to two public high schools serving grades 9–12 — North High in the Sheboygan Area School District and Howards Grove High in the Howards Grove School District — with a combined enrollment of 1,764 students. North High enrolls 1,482 students, about 84% of that total, while Howards Grove High enrolls 282.
Howards Grove High is the stronger school across most measures. It ranks 84 of 533 schools (84th percentile, 4 stars) and 78 of 432 districts (82nd percentile, 4 stars). Its 96.0% graduation rate, 0.3% dropout rate, and 10.4% chronic absenteeism all beat the state's 92.0%, 1.1%, and 17.3%. Its free/reduced lunch rate is 11.7%, compared with 51.15% at North. In 2025–2026 it scored above the state in all four tested subjects, including 75.00% English Language Arts proficiency — 26.53 points above the state. It also spends more per student ($14,804 vs. $13,224) and has smaller classes (12.7 vs. 16.3 students per teacher).
North High is much larger, serves a substantially higher-poverty population, and has larger classes and lower per-student spending. It ranks 269 of 533 (50th percentile, 2 stars) while its district ranks 343 of 432 (21st percentile, 1 star). Despite that, North outperformed its own district average in every tested subject in both years and beat the state in math both years (47.47% vs. 42.93% in 2025–2026; 46.88% vs. 42.73% in 2024–2025). Because the two schools serve very different student populations, families should weigh these context differences when comparing outcomes.
