Summary:
ZIP code 53805 covers Boscobel, a small city in southwestern Wisconsin served by a single district, Boscobel Area School District, which runs three schools — Boscobel Elementary (PK–5), Boscobel Junior High (6–8), and Boscobel High (9–12) — enrolling 651 students. Because each school is the district's entire grade band, every building's scores are also the district's scores at that level.
Boscobel Junior High is the standout: it ranks 223rd of 643 middle schools (65th percentile, 3 stars), up 23 percentile points in one year, with 7 of 8 tested measures above the state average and an average gap of +5.7 points. Its 6th-grade math proficiency of 75.68% (state 53.6%) is the highest figure in this data. Boscobel High is improving but still low — 22nd percentile, 1 star, and the only school below 50% on every tested measure, averaging about 14 points behind the state; 10th-grade ACT math sits at 23.81% versus 42.93%. Boscobel Elementary, the former star at 75th percentile (4 stars), has slid to 45th percentile (2 stars), with all eight measures declining; 3rd-grade ELA is now 13.2 points below the state.
Outcomes stay strong even where proficiency lags: Boscobel High graduates 93.7% of students (state 92.0%) with a 0.5% dropout rate, and chronic absenteeism across the three schools runs 1.9%, 3.2%, and 3.5% against a 17.3% state rate. Per-student spending is $18,682 at the elementary, $14,688 at the junior high, and $16,552 at the high school, with low ratios of 10.3–11.5 students per teacher. Economic need is highest at the elementary (58.84% eligible for free/reduced lunch), then 50.63% and 48.35%.
