Summary:

ZIP code 53154 is served by one high school, Oak Creek High, a grades 9–12 campus in the Oak Creek-Franklin Joint School District with 2,220 students. Because it is the only high school in the ZIP code, parents can look at how it compares with district and state benchmarks rather than with other local high schools.

Oak Creek High has strong completion outcomes: its graduation rate is 97.8%, matching the district and above Wisconsin’s 92.0%, while its dropout rate is 0.6%, lower than the state’s 1.1% and close to the district’s 0.4%. In 2025–2026, 10th-grade Forward Exam Social Studies proficiency was 52.78%, above the state’s 48.25% and up from 45.09% in 2024–2025. However, chronic absenteeism is 20.9%, above both the district’s 14.0% and the state’s 17.3%, meaning roughly one in five students was chronically absent.

Test scores are mixed. In 2025–2026, ACT results were below the state in English Language Arts (42.63% vs. 48.47%), Mathematics (39.10% vs. 42.93%), and Science (40.24% vs. 43.20%). Math and Science fell sharply from 2024–2025, when both were above the state. ELA was also below the state in both years and the gap widened. The school has earned 2 stars and sat around the 48th percentile in each of the last three years, while the district is ranked 3 stars and 66th percentile. About 31.76% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, and per-student spending is $12,487 with a 17.7 student-teacher ratio. The main areas to watch are chronic absenteeism and recent ACT math and science declines.
