Summary:

Zip code 53147 is home to six elementary schools serving 1,517 students across four districts, with grade spans that range from PK–3 at Central - Denison Elementary, PK–5 at Star Center Elementary, grades 4–5 at Eastview Elementary, to PK–8 at Reek Elementary, Woods Elementary, and Traver Elementary. Enrollment ranges from 75 students at Traver to 522 at Central-Denison. Three schools sit in Lake Geneva J1 School District, while Reek is in Linn J6 School District, Woods in Geneva J4 School District, and Traver in Linn J4 School District.

Reek and Woods are the academic leaders. Reek benefits from the strongest district context — Linn J6 ranks 40 of 432, 91st percentile, 5 stars — and its own rank rose to 133 of 1039, 87th percentile, 4 stars, on standout results such as 100% ELA proficiency in 3rd grade and 91.67% math proficiency in 3rd grade in 2025-26, all with the lowest free/reduced-lunch rate (16.48%) and the lowest per-pupil spending ($14,547) in the group. Woods, in Geneva J4 (56 of 432, 87th percentile, 4 stars), recorded 100% proficiency in 8th grade ELA, math, and social studies in 2024-25 and 91.67% in 7th grade math in 2025-26. Eastview posts the strongest current rank among the Lake Geneva J1 schools at 208 of 1039, 80th percentile, 4 stars, with 4th grade math at 73.15% in 2025-26 and the lowest FRL rate in that district at 36.58%. Central-Denison, the largest school, pairs 3.0% chronic absenteeism with 2024-25 3rd grade results of 70.75% ELA and 72.64% math.

Traver is the clearest outlier in the other direction: smallest enrollment, highest FRL rate (56%), highest per-pupil spending ($27,340), lowest student-teacher ratio (5.2), lowest district rank (9th percentile, 0 stars), and lowest overall proficiency, though 3rd grade math reached 77.78% in 2025-26, and small cohorts can swing grade-level percentages. Star Center sits in the middle, improving from the 53rd to the 69th percentile. Notably, every school is below the state's 17.3% chronic absenteeism rate — from 3.0% at Reek and Central-Denison to 12.7% at Woods — and spending and class size do not track simply with outcomes.
