Summary:
ZIP code 53563 is home to five schools serving pre-kindergarten through 12th grade — two elementary schools (PK–3), two middle schools (grades 4–6 and 7–8), and one high school — all part of the Milton School District, with a combined enrollment of about 3,091 students.
Milton High is the largest school at 1,057 students and the area's biggest improvement story: it rose from the 53rd percentile (3 stars) in 2024–2025 to the 78th percentile (4 stars) in 2025–2026, and it beats the state in social studies, English language arts, math, and science. Its 97.7% graduation rate and 0.3% dropout rate also outpace the state. Northside Intermediate posts the strongest test results in the group despite having the lowest per-student spending ($11,311) — its 5th-grade math proficiency was 74.03% in 2025–2026 and 81.15% the year before — along with the lowest chronic absenteeism at 7.0%. Milton Middle has held a 78th percentile, 4-star ranking for two straight years and beats the state in every reported subject, though its 15.8% chronic absenteeism is the highest of the five schools.
Among the elementaries, East Elementary improved in both 3rd-grade ELA (53.26% to 56.18%) and math (48.91% to 55.56%) but remains below the district aggregate, while West Elementary serves the highest-need population (35.09% free/reduced lunch), spends the most ($15,488), and has the smallest classes (13.7 students per teacher) — yet its scores were mixed, with a strong 2024–2025 math result followed by drops in 2025–2026. Notably, every school in the ZIP code has lower chronic absenteeism than Wisconsin's 17.3%, and spending does not map neatly onto outcomes.
