Schools in Zip Code 53235

ZIP code 53235 is a small, single-district area in Wisconsin served by three public schools — Willow Glen Primary School (PK–3), Deer Creek Intermediate (4–8), and Saint Francis High (9–12) — all part of the Saint Francis School District, which enrolls 1,106 students combined and is ranked 368 out of 432 districts in the state (15th percentile, 1 star). Because the district has one school per grade span, district results largely mirror the individual schools.

Willow Glen Primary School is the clearest academic standout. Its 3rd-grade ELA proficiency is 70.45% against a state rate of 52.08%, and 3rd-grade math is 72.73% against 54.75% — roughly 18 points above state in both, with math climbing from 50% the prior year. Deer Creek Intermediate has the best attendance in the ZIP (16.7% chronic absenteeism, below the state's 17.3%) and solid 6th- and 7th-grade math results, but its ELA and 8th-grade science scores generally trail state, and its rank slipped from 55th percentile with 3 stars in 2023–2024 to 41st percentile with 2 stars. Deer Creek also has the lowest student-teacher ratio (13.5) and highest per-student spending ($16,827) in the area.

Saint Francis High shows the sharpest split between completion and achievement: a 96.5% graduation rate and 0.3% dropout rate, both better than state, alongside proficiency roughly 17–22 points below state in every reported subject (social studies, ELA, math, and science). It also carries the ZIP's highest chronic absenteeism (22.6%), highest free/reduced lunch rate (50.83%), largest classes (18.5 students per teacher), and lowest per-student spending ($13,658). Overall, families here see strong elementary academics, a middle school with attendance and math bright spots but weaker reading and science, and a high school that graduates students reliably while struggling on test proficiency.
