Six public schools serve ZIP code 53110 in Cudahy, Wisconsin: four elementary schools for grades PK–6 (Mitchell Elementary, Lincoln Elementary, Kosciuszko Elementary, and Jones Elementary), one middle school for grades 7–8 (Cudahy Middle), and one high school for grades 9–12 (Cudahy High).

The elementary schools are the strongest part of the ZIP. Lincoln Elementary ranks highest at 647 of 1,039 (38th percentile, 2 stars) and posts the ZIP's best 6th grade ELA score at 68.57%, versus 54.95% statewide.

Jones Elementary has the best attendance at 14.5% chronic absenteeism (below the state's 17.3%), but the weakest test results and has slipped to 1 star.
The middle and high schools lag furthest behind.
