Summary:
Zip code 53807 contains exactly one elementary school: Cuba City Elementary, a PK–5 building of 288 students in Cuba City, Wisconsin, serving as the elementary campus of the Cuba City School District. Because it is the only elementary school in the ZIP, there is no local peer group to compare against, so statewide Wisconsin benchmarks are the frame of reference. The school is small and relatively well-resourced, with a student–teacher ratio of 11.4, per-student spending of $15,209 (2024‑25), and 30.9% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.
Reading is the most consistent strength. On the 2025‑26 Forward Exam (given in grades 3–5), ELA proficiency topped the state at every tested grade: 58.33% vs. 52.08% in grade 3, 59.38% vs. 53.87% in grade 4, and 55.56% vs. 53.63% in grade 5. Fourth-grade social studies was the single best result in the data — 78.13% proficient against 65.51% statewide. Attendance is equally strong: chronic absenteeism of 8.6% is roughly half the statewide rate of 17.3% and essentially level with the district's 8.5%. The caution is mathematics in the upper grades: fourth-grade math was 28.13% vs. 52.87% statewide, and fifth-grade math 44.44% vs. 51.81%, while third-grade math was 63.89%, above state.
Following one cohort from 2024‑25 third grade to 2025‑26 fourth grade shows math falling from 85.71% to 28.13%, while ELA slipped from 68.57% to 59.38% yet stayed above state. The math issue is therefore concentrated in grades 4 and 5 rather than school-wide. The school has improved its statewide percentile each of the past three years (45 to 46 to 48) but remains just below the 50th percentile at 2 stars, while the district carries 3 stars. In short: a well-attended, well-resourced school that outperforms the state in reading, held back mainly by upper-grade math.
