Summary:

Zip code 53504 is served by three public schools — Argyle Elementary (PK–5, 150 students), Argyle Middle (6–8, 62 students), and Argyle High (9–12, 85 students) — all operating from a single campus at 14665 State Road 78 in Argyle, Wisconsin, and all part of the Argyle School District. Together they enroll 297 students. The district ranks 72nd of 432 Wisconsin districts in 2025–2026, placing it in the 83rd percentile with 4 stars, and each of the three schools also holds 4 stars this year.

Each school arrived at that 4-star rating differently. Argyle Elementary has been the most consistent, earning 4 stars in all three years and currently sitting in the 84th percentile (162nd of 1,039). Argyle Middle climbed steadily from 2 stars and the 35th percentile in 2023–2024 to 4 stars and the 74th percentile now. Argyle High posted the largest swing, rising from 1 star and the 23rd percentile in 2024–2025 to 4 stars and the 82nd percentile in 2025–2026. Math is the shared strength: elementary math in grades 3–5 runs roughly 17 to 25 points above state, middle school math reaches 90%, 80%, and 94.44% in grades 6–8 against state rates in the low-to-mid 50s, and high school ACT math is 54.17% versus 42.93% statewide.

Non-academic indicators are equally notable. Chronic absenteeism is 0.0% at the elementary and middle schools and 1.2% at the high school, far below the 17.3% state average. Argyle High reports a 100.0% graduation rate and 0.0% dropout rate, compared with 92.0% and 1.1% statewide. Between 29% and 37% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and student-teacher ratios sit near 10:1 or lower. The clearest watch items are 8th-grade science at 38.89% proficient versus 51.86% statewide and high school Social Studies at 42.86% versus 48.25%. With enrollment this small, year-to-year percentages can shift sharply.
