Summary:
ZIP code 53154 is home to seven PK–5 elementary schools, all part of the Oak Creek-Franklin Joint School District, serving 2,602 students in a district ranked 148th of 432 Wisconsin districts (66th percentile, 3 stars). Together the seven schools average 63.2% proficiency in 2025–2026 — above the district's 62.7% and well above the state's 54.7% — but that aggregate hides a wide spread: three schools hold 4 stars, two hold 3 stars, and two hold 2 stars, with ranks ranging from 108th to 685th of 1,039 elementary schools.
Carollton Elementary leads at the 90th percentile (108th), above district and state on all eight reported tests and highest in the group at 76.9%. Meadowview Elementary (86th percentile, 144th) is close behind and the biggest improver, up +9.3 points to 72.5%, with the strongest math average and a 76.09% grade 5 math score. Deerfield Elementary (79th percentile, 219th) has the lowest chronic absenteeism at 5.8%. Edgewood Elementary and Shepard Hills Elementary sit mid-pack (65th and 55th percentiles), while Cedar Hills Elementary (48th percentile) and Forest Ridge Elementary (34th percentile, 48.3% proficiency) trail — Forest Ridge also has the highest free/reduced-lunch rate (51.95%) and absenteeism (18.2%).
Notably, money and class size don't track results here: Cedar Hills spends the most ($14,445) with the smallest classes (12.4:1) yet holds 2 stars, while Meadowview has the largest ratio (15.8:1) and 4 stars. Six of seven schools beat district and state absenteeism rates, and every school improved or held steady in rank since 2023–2024.
