Kansasville Elementary up 35 spots statewide this year
Summary:

ZIP code 53139 in Kansasville, Wisconsin contains just 2 public schools, both elementary schools serving grades PK–8, with a combined enrollment of 277 students and no middle, high, or alternative schools in the ZIP. The two schools sit in separate districts — Brighton #1 School District and Dover #1 School District — so families here eventually leave the ZIP for high school.

Kansasville Elementary is the clear academic standout. Its district ranks 33rd of 432 statewide, in the 92nd percentile with 5 stars, and the school itself ranked 94th percentile with 5 stars in 2025–2026, up from 91st the prior year and 66th the year before. Its math results are exceptional: a 96.1% average across grades 3–8 in 2024–2025, with 100% in grades 3, 4, 5, and 7. It achieves this with a higher free/reduced lunch rate (44.44%) and chronic absenteeism of 20.8%, above the state's 17.3%. Brighton Elementary has real strengths too — very low chronic absenteeism at 6.2%, and 3rd-grade ELA and math proficiency of 90.48% in 2025–2026 — but its school rank slid from the 90th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 52nd percentile in 2025–2026, with 4th-grade ELA and math and 6th-grade math below state.

Math is the biggest difference between the two: in same-grade 2025–2026 comparisons, Kansasville led Brighton by about 23.7 points in math and 11.4 points in ELA, while Brighton's 8th grade was ahead in social studies (83.3% vs. 66.7%) and science (66.7% vs. 55.6%). Kansasville spends more per student ($16,500 vs. $11,884) and has smaller classes (10.6 vs. 14.6 students per teacher). Both report a 0.0% dropout rate, below the state's 1.1%. Note that Kansasville's 81-student enrollment makes grade-level percentages swing year to year.
