Summary:
ZIP code 53910 contains just one public school: Adams-Friendship High, a high school serving grades 9–12 with 446 students in Adams, Wisconsin. It belongs to the Adams-Friendship Area School District. Because it is the only school in this ZIP, there are no local elementary or middle schools and no other local school to compare it against, so all comparisons below are to district and state averages. The district as a whole is ranked 410 out of 432 Wisconsin districts, placing it in the 5th percentile with 0 stars.
Academically, the school trails the state in every reported subject. In 2025–2026, proficiency was 33.71% in social studies, 31.31% in English language arts, 26.26% in mathematics, and 33.67% in science, compared with state rates of 48.25%, 48.47%, 42.93%, and 43.20%. Math had the lowest proficiency and the widest gap; ELA proficiency also fell sharply from 43.00% the prior year to 31.31%, while math slipped from 31.68% to 26.26%. Social studies and science were steadier. The school ranks 420 of 533 Wisconsin high schools, in the 21st percentile with 1 star — an improvement from the 12th percentile in 2023–2024, but still within the bottom quarter of ranked schools.
Graduation is a relative bright spot: 92.1% of students graduate, essentially matching the state's 92.0%. However, the dropout rate is 1.8% versus 1.1% statewide, and chronic absenteeism is 26.4%, well above the district's 23.4% and the state's 17.3% — roughly 53% higher than the state rate. About 54.93% of students come from low-income backgrounds as measured by free/reduced lunch, per-student spending is $17,895, and the student-teacher ratio is 12.5. In short, students are finishing high school at state-average rates, but attendance, dropout, and proficiency — especially in math and ELA — remain the areas most in need of attention.
