Summary:
ZIP code 53510 is served by two public schools in the Belmont Community School District: Belmont Elementary (PK–6, 213 students) and Belmont High (7–12, 168 students), both located at 646 E Liberty St in Belmont, Wisconsin. Together they enroll 381 students. Because the high school covers grades 7–12, there is no standalone middle school. The district ranks 157th of 432 in Wisconsin — the 64th percentile, with 3 stars — and both schools now hold 3 stars.
Both schools have improved in the rankings, but Belmont High made the bigger jump, rising from the 25th percentile and 1 star in 2023–2024 to the 68th percentile and 3 stars in 2025–2026; Belmont Elementary moved from the 45th percentile and 2 stars to the 62nd percentile and 3 stars. The two schools differ sharply on attendance: elementary chronic absenteeism is just 5.4%, far below the 11.6% district and 17.3% state rates, while the high school’s is 18.5%, slightly above the state rate. The high school’s outcomes are strong, with a 94.1% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate in 2024–2025.
Academically, the elementary school shines in early math — grade 3 math reached 90.48% proficient in 2024–2025 and grade 4 math 86.36% in 2025–2026 — though grade 5 and 6 math fell below state levels. Belmont High is strongest in social studies (grade 8 at 77.78% vs 64.63% state) and ACT ELA and Science, but ACT Math trailed the state at 39.13% vs 42.93%. Free/reduced lunch rates are nearly identical (34.74% and 33.33%), while the high school spends more per student ($17,325 vs $15,211). With small cohorts, year-to-year swings should be read cautiously; the main watch items are high school absenteeism and math at the upper grades and ACT level.
