Summary:

ZIP code 53520 in southern Wisconsin contains exactly one high school — Brodhead High — serving grades 9–12 with 313 students as part of the Brodhead School District, a small community where about 34.19% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Parents will find the most encouraging news in completion measures. Brodhead High posted a 96.2% graduation rate in 2024–2025, above Wisconsin's 92.0%, and a 0.0% dropout rate, better than both the district's 0.6% and the state's 1.1%. English Language Arts proficiency rose from 45.83% to 51.35%, moving above the state's 48.47%.
