Summary:

Zip code 53179 has just one school in this data — Trevor-Wilmot Grade, an elementary-classified school that actually serves grades PK–8 with 455 students, so it covers both elementary and middle grades locally. It belongs to the Trevor-Wilmot Consolidated School District, which is rated 113th of 432 districts in Wisconsin (74th percentile, 4 stars). The school itself has held 3 stars for three straight years and ranked 482nd of 1,039 in 2025–2026 (54th percentile), 470th of 1,044 in 2024–2025 (55th percentile), and 403rd of 1,061 in 2023–2024 (62nd percentile) — still above the median, but drifting downward. Because there is only one school here, there are no local peers to compare against; all comparisons are to state averages or the school's own past results, and the free/reduced lunch figure is blank, so it isn't analyzed.

Academics are strongest in the upper grades. In 7th grade ELA, 85.19% of students were proficient versus 55.33% statewide — nearly 30 points above state — while 8th grade ELA was 77.50% vs. 54.38% and 6th grade ELA 75.00% vs. 54.95%. 8th grade Social Studies reached 87.50% vs. 64.63% state (90.00% the year before), and 8th grade Science was 67.50% vs. 51.86%. Math is also above state in grades 3 and 5–8. Chronic absenteeism is a clear bright spot at 9.7% compared with 17.3% statewide, suggesting strong attendance and engagement.

Fourth grade is the area to watch. Math proficiency was 35.56% in 2025–2026 vs. 52.87% statewide, and 33.33% vs. 53.96% the prior year — a two-year weakness rather than a one-year dip. Fourth grade ELA (51.11% vs. 53.87%) and Science (51.11% vs. 53.46%) also sit slightly below state, though both improved year over year. The dropout rate is 2.2% vs. 1.1% statewide — double the state rate — but for a PK–8 school this measure applies to few students and should be read cautiously. Resource figures are provided without benchmarks: per-student spending is $16,523 and the student-teacher ratio is 12.1.
