Summary:
Zip code 53149 is home to seven schools — three elementary, one middle, one high, and two alternative schools serving grades PK through 12 — split between the Mukwonago School District and the Norris School District in southeastern Wisconsin, with total enrollment of 3,760 students.
The Mukwonago School District is rated 30th of 432 Wisconsin districts (93rd percentile, 5 stars), and all five of its schools earned 5 stars in 2025-26. Section Elementary is the standout, ranking 7th of 1,039 schools (99th percentile), with proficiency as high as 97.96% in 3rd grade math and the lowest absenteeism (0.9%), lowest free/reduced lunch (7.08%), and lowest per-student spending ($12,474) among Mukwonago schools. Rolling Hills Elementary ranks 55th of 1,039 (95th percentile) with 92.00% proficiency in 6th grade math, and Park View Middle ranks 41st of 643 (94th percentile). Mukwonago High enrolls 1,604 students, ranks 36th of 533, graduates 98.3% of students with a 0.1% dropout rate, but its chronic absenteeism of 7.3% is nearly double the district's 3.8% — still far below the state's 17.3%. Clarendon Avenue Elementary is 5-star and 90th percentile, yet it is the lowest-ranked Mukwonago school, and its 2025-26 scores, while above state, fall below district averages in every tested area.
The two Norris alternative schools are tiny and best viewed separately: Norris Academy Virtual School enrolls 21 students and Norris Academy just 10, with per-student spending of $31,573 and $93,715 and student-teacher ratios of 8.4 and 1.2. Their dropout rates of 9.0% and 18.1% far exceed the state's 1.1%, and percentages based on so few students are volatile. Notably, spending does not predict outcomes here: Section spends least among Mukwonago schools yet ranks highest, while Clarendon spends most among the elementaries yet ranks lowest.
