Schools in Zip Code 53126

ZIP code 53126 is home to three public elementary schools — Raymond Elementary (385 students), North Cape Elementary (194) and Drought Elementary (109) — all serving grades PK–8, each in its own district: Raymond #14 School District, North Cape School District and Norway J7 School District. With 688 students spread across three small schools and no middle, high or alternative schools in the ZIP, grade-level results come from small cohorts, so year-to-year swings should be read cautiously. All three generally outperform the state in most 2025–26 tested areas, with social studies a shared strength.

Drought Elementary is the clear standout. It ranks 152 of 1,039 statewide in 2025–26 (85th percentile, 4 stars), and Norway J7 School District ranks 42 of 432 (90th percentile, 5 stars). Drought climbed from the 60th percentile in 2023–24 to 85th in 2025–26 and posted the area's strongest results in most grades, including 93.33 in 4th grade social studies — the highest single proficiency score in the data set. It also has the smallest enrollment, the lowest student-teacher ratio (10.7) and the lowest per-student spending ($14,298).

North Cape Elementary and Raymond Elementary are trending the other way. North Cape fell from the 93rd percentile in 2023–24 to 60th in 2025–26 (419 of 1,039, 3 stars), though North Cape School District still ranks 98 of 432 (77th percentile, 4 stars); its dropout rate is 5.1%, above the state's 1.1%. Raymond slipped from 73rd to 61st percentile and is the largest school. Chronic absenteeism is below the state's 17.3% at all three: Raymond 2.2%, North Cape 6.9% and Drought 10.9%.
