Summary:
ZIP code 53534 has a single public high school — Edgerton High — serving grades 9–12 with 593 students as part of the Edgerton School District in Wisconsin. Because it is the only high school in the area, families have one option to consider, and it compares well with the state: Edgerton High ranks 125th of 533 Wisconsin high schools for 2025–2026, putting it in the 77th percentile with a 4-star rating, while the Edgerton School District ranks 120th of 432, also with 4 stars.
Graduation and dropout results are the standout numbers: 99.3% of students graduated in 2024–2025 versus 92.0% statewide, and the dropout rate was 0.1% against a state rate of 1.1%. Tenth-grade proficiency in 2025–2026 was above state in every reported subject — Social Studies (59.03% vs. 48.25%), English Language Arts (59.29% vs. 48.47%), Mathematics (47.79% vs. 42.93%), and Science (47.79% vs. 43.20%). English Language Arts showed the biggest one-year jump, climbing from 43.75% the prior year, when it sat below the state average, to 59.29%; math also moved from slightly below state to above it. These are different groups of students, so the change is not individual student growth.
Chronic absenteeism is the main area to watch: 11.4% at the high school, well below the state's 17.3% but more than double the district's 5.2%, a gap that may partly reflect differences between grade levels. About three in ten students, 30.52%, qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Per-student spending is $15,619 with a 16.5:1 student-teacher ratio, though the data offers no state or peer comparison for those figures. Rank history shows some ups and downs — 4 stars in 2023–2024, 3 stars in 2024–2025, and back to 4 stars in 2025–2026 — so the current trend is positive but not perfectly steady.
