ZIP code 53593 contains 10 schools — 8 elementary, 1 middle and 1 high school — serving about 5,533 students across three districts: Verona Area School District, Middleton-Cross Plains Area School District and Madison Metropolitan School District. Verona Area operates eight of the ten schools and ranks 95th of 432 districts statewide (78th percentile, 4 stars). Elementary schools enroll about 53% of the students here, while Verona Area High alone accounts for 1,820 students, roughly a third of the ZIP total.

The strongest overall profiles belong to Verona Area International School (92nd percentile, 5 stars, 113 students), West Middleton Elementary (89th percentile, 4 stars), New Century School (86th percentile, 4 stars) and Core Knowledge Charter School (80th percentile, 4 stars). All four combine high proficiency with low chronic absenteeism — Core Knowledge's 5.3% is the lowest in the ZIP, followed by Verona Area International at 7.1%. Verona Area High also ranks in the 85th percentile after jumping from the 54th a year earlier, with a 94.5% graduation rate.

Olson Elementary is a standout in context: it ranks in the 70th percentile while its district, Madison Metropolitan, sits at the 26th percentile with 1 star, and its scores run 15–20 points above district averages. Glacier Edge Elementary (47th percentile, 2 stars) has the ZIP's highest poverty rate at 32.03%. Country View Elementary has slipped from the 75th to the 50th percentile over three years. Only the high school (24.4%) and Olson (19.3%) exceed the state's 17.3% chronic absenteeism rate. Because the top small schools enroll just over 100 students, their grade-level results can swing widely from year to year.
