Summary:
Zip code 53585 is served by a single elementary school, Sharon Community, the only school in the Sharon J11 School District. It is listed as an elementary school but actually serves pre-kindergarten through 8th grade, with 197 students. Because the district has just one school, school-level and district-level figures for test scores, dropout, and chronic absenteeism are identical. The district ranks 137 of 432 statewide, in the 68th percentile with 3 stars.
Sharon Community's most encouraging trend is improvement: its school rank rose from 538 of 1044 (48th percentile, 2 stars) in 2024-25 to 390 of 1039 (62nd percentile, 3 stars) in 2025-26, a 148-position gain. English Language Arts is the standout subject — every grade tested in 2025-26 scored above the state average, led by 4th grade at 82.35% versus 53.87% statewide and 8th grade at 77.78% versus 54.38%. Math also had strong 4th and 8th grade results (88.24% and 77.78%). Attendance is exceptional: chronic absenteeism was 1.1% against 17.3% statewide, and the dropout rate was 0.0% versus 1.1% for the state. Even with 58.38% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch, the school outperformed the state in ELA, math, and social studies.
There are areas to watch. Fifth grade math came in at 16.67% versus 51.81% statewide, a 35.14-point gap and the largest negative gap in the data, while that same group scored 87.5% in 4th grade math the year before. Fourth grade science was 41.18% versus 53.46% statewide, though 8th grade science was above state at 61.11%. Social studies stayed above state in both grades tested, although 4th grade slipped from 87.5% to 70.59%. With only 197 students across PK–8, grade-level percentages rest on small groups, so yearly swings should be read with caution. Overall, students here beat the state average in most subjects, attendance is outstanding, and the clearest opportunities are 5th grade math and 4th grade science.
