Summary:
ZIP code 53586 is home to three public schools serving PK–12 students — Shullsburg Elementary, Shullsburg Junior High, and Shullsburg High — all part of the single Shullsburg School District, all located at 444 N Judgement St in Shullsburg, Wisconsin, and together enrolling 325 students.
Across the three schools, Shullsburg High is the relative standout. It is ranked 305th of 533 (43rd percentile, 2 stars), the only 2-star rating among the three, and posts a 93.7% graduation rate against the state's 92.0% with a 0.0% dropout rate. Shullsburg Junior High has the best attendance, with 12.2% chronic absenteeism versus 17.3% for the district and state, plus above-state 6th-grade ELA and math, though it ranks 463rd of 643 (28th percentile, 1 star). Shullsburg Elementary shows 5th-grade ELA above state but has slipped from 49th percentile with 2 stars in 2023–24 to 22nd percentile with 1 star in 2025–26. The district as a whole ranks 374th of 432, at the 13th percentile with 1 star.
Several patterns stand out for families. Science and social studies results fall below state at all three schools, and elementary math is below state at every tested grade. Chronic absenteeism is highest at the high school (21.2%) even though it ranks best, so attendance and rankings do not move together. Per-student spending is $17,963 at the high school, $16,248 at the elementary, and $16,055 at the junior high. Because the junior high and high school enroll only 73 and 109 students, year-to-year swings — such as high school math dropping from 56.52% to 36.84% — can reflect small group sizes, so single-year changes should be read with caution.
