Summary:
The 53820 zip code area is home to three schools - Potosi Elementary, Potosi High, and Potosi Middle - all part of the Potosi School District. While the elementary school stands out as a high performer, the middle school lags behind, and the high school falls somewhere in the middle.
Potosi Elementary is the clear standout, consistently ranking in the top 30-35% of Wisconsin elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its test scores, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics, are significantly above the state averages across multiple grade levels, and it has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%. In contrast, Potosi Middle School seems to be the weakest performer, with a 2-star rating and ranking in the bottom 40-60% of Wisconsin middle schools. Its test scores are generally below the state averages, especially in English Language Arts.
Potosi High School falls somewhere in the middle, with a 3-4 star rating and ranking in the top 20-30% of Wisconsin high schools. Its test scores are mixed, with some areas above state averages and others below. The significant differences in test scores between the elementary, middle, and high school levels within the same district may indicate a need for better vertical alignment and continuity in the district's educational program.
