Summary:

The 53520 zip code is home to a single high school, Brodhead High School, which serves students in grades 9-12 within the Brodhead School District. While the school's 4-year graduation rate is slightly above the state average, its academic performance and student engagement metrics suggest significant challenges that need to be addressed.

Brodhead High School has a statewide ranking that has declined in recent years, dropping from 297 out of 431 Wisconsin high schools in 2024-2025 to 324 out of 431 in 2023-2024. The school's proficiency rates on the Forward Exam and ACT tests are consistently below the state and district averages in all subject areas, indicating that students are struggling academically compared to their peers across Wisconsin. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate is higher than the state average, suggesting issues with student engagement and attendance.

Socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the school's academic underperformance, as Brodhead High School has a free and reduced-price lunch rate that is higher than the state average. Despite the school's higher per-student spending, the academic performance remains below par, raising questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and the need for targeted interventions to address the underlying issues.
