Summary:

ZIP code 53521 is served by a single public school — Brooklyn Elementary in Brooklyn, WI — which covers grades PK–4 with 363 students, meaning the area has one elementary school and no middle, high, or alternative schools in the available data.

Brooklyn Elementary is part of the Oregon School District, which itself ranks 50 of 432 districts statewide (88th percentile, 4 stars). The school has held a 4-star rating in each of the last three years, ranking 87th percentile among Wisconsin elementary schools in 2025–2026, 81st in 2024–2025, and 89th in 2023–2024. Its proficiency beat the state average in every reported Forward Exam subject and grade in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, with 2025–2026 margins ranging from about 13 to 23 percentage points. Chronic absenteeism is exceptionally low at 4.2%, compared with 8.7% in the district and 17.3% statewide — notable given that 21.76% of students qualify for free/reduced-price lunch.

Compared with its own high-performing district, the school trailed district averages in all six tested areas in 2024–2025, then moved ahead in 2025–2026 in 3rd grade ELA (+1.04 points), 3rd grade math (+1.53), and 4th grade science (+1.77), while remaining slightly below in 4th grade ELA, 4th grade math, and 4th grade social studies. Year over year, 3rd grade showed the strongest gains (ELA +8.44, math +9.05) and 4th grade science jumped +13.63 points, while 4th grade math fell 6.21 points — though the same students who scored 68.00% in 3rd grade math in 2024–2025 scored 68.42% as 4th graders, suggesting cohort differences rather than lost ground. The school reports a student-teacher ratio of 11.5 and per-student spending of $16,745.
