Schools in Zip Code 53554

ZIP code 53554 covers Livingston, a small community in Grant County, Wisconsin, where the entire zip is served by a single district — Iowa-Grant School District — operating just two schools: Iowa-Grant Elementary/Middle (PK–8, about 423 students) and Iowa-Grant High (9–12, about 225 students), roughly 648 students combined. Because each school is the only one of its type, district-level test scores are the same numbers as the school scores.

Iowa-Grant High is the bright spot and the only school with a 3-star rating, ranking at the 56th percentile statewide in 2025-26 — up from 41st percentile and 2 stars two years earlier. It scored above the state average in ACT Mathematics and ACT Science in both years. The caution for parents: its dropout rate is 2.1% versus the state's 1.1%, and its graduation rate is 88.6% against the state's 92.0%, so the school is raising proficiency while still losing more students than average.

Iowa-Grant Elementary/Middle has been flat for three years at 43rd percentile and 2 stars, slightly below the middle of Wisconsin schools. Its headline rating hides outstanding math in grades 5–7 (5th grade math hit 90.24% proficient in 2024-25 and 81.08% in 2025-26, with 6th at 76.74% and 7th at 73.47%, far above state averages in the low 50s). Weak spots are early-grade math (grades 3 and 4 below state), English Language Arts at every grade level, and 7th grade ELA at 32.65% — the lowest figure in the data. Attendance is a genuine strength: chronic absenteeism is 8.4% at the elementary/middle and 11.4% at the high school, well under the state's 17.3%. Both schools spend about $16,600–$16,900 per student with class ratios near 11:1, and with only about 45–55 students per tested grade, single-year swings should be read cautiously.
