Summary:
ZIP code 53510 contains just one high school in this dataset: Belmont High, a small combined middle and high school serving grades 7–12 at 646 E Liberty St in Belmont, Wisconsin. With 168 students enrolled, it is part of the Belmont Community School District, and its size shows up in a student-teacher ratio of 10.8 and per-student spending of $17,325, suggesting a small, relatively well-resourced learning environment where about one-third of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The school's most compelling story is upward momentum. Belmont High climbed from the 25th percentile with 1 star in 2023–2024 to the 51st percentile with 3 stars in 2024–2025, and then to the 68th percentile with 3 stars in 2025–2026 — a 43-percentile-point gain over two years. The Belmont Community School District itself ranks 157 of 432 statewide, placing it in the 64th percentile with 3 stars. Completion outcomes are strong: the 2024–2025 graduation rate is 94.1% versus the state's 92.0%, and the dropout rate is 0.0% compared with 1.1% statewide. Chronic absenteeism, however, is a concern at 18.5% — higher than both the district's 11.6% and the state's 17.3%.
Academically, Belmont High outperformed the state in 7 of 10 reported 2025–2026 assessments, with a simple average proficiency of about 56.4% against the state's 51.8%.

Watch items include ELA declines across all grade levels and exams, below-state results in Math 8 (50.00%) and ACT Math (39.13%), and the elevated absenteeism rate.
