Summary:
ZIP code 53550 covers the small community of Juda, Wisconsin, and contains just 2 schools, both part of the Juda School District: Juda Elementary, serving grades PK–8 with 178 students, and Juda High, serving grades 9–12 with 80 students. Together they enroll 258 students, and there is no separate middle school — grades 6–8 sit inside Juda Elementary's PK–8 span. The district as a whole is ranked 269 of 432, at the 38th percentile with 2 stars.
Juda Elementary is the stronger performer. It has earned 3 stars in each of the last three reported years, reaching the 70th percentile in 2024-2025, and its chronic absenteeism of 7.5% is far below the state's 17.3%. In 2025-2026 its English Language Arts results averaged about 58.9% proficient versus 54.0% for the state, with particular strengths in 6th grade ELA (75.00% vs. 54.95%) and 3rd grade math (71.43% vs. 54.75%). Math is uneven, though — it averaged 58.1% in 2024-2025 (above state) but 53.0% in 2025-2026 (slightly below), and 8th grade social studies sat at exactly 50.0% in both years.
Juda High stands out for completion rather than test proficiency. Its graduation rate is 100.0% against a state rate of 92.0%, its dropout rate is 0.0%, and its chronic absenteeism of 12.0% is still well under the state's 17.3%. It also improved from 1 star and the 19th percentile in 2023-2024 to 2 stars and the 38th percentile in 2025-2026. However, its 2025-2026 grade-10 results trail the state in ELA (38.9% vs. 48.5%), math (38.9% vs. 42.9%), science (33.3% vs. 43.2%), and social studies (47.1% vs. 48.3%). It spends more per student ($19,597 vs. $16,361) with smaller classes, and both schools serve similar low-income populations (about 51–53% free/reduced lunch). With such small cohorts, year-to-year swings should be read cautiously.
