Summary:
ZIP code 53930 has one public elementary school: Endeavor Elementary in Endeavor, Wisconsin, serving grades K–5 with 57 students as part of the Portage Community School District. Because it is the only elementary school in the ZIP code, it is the sole local option for families with younger students, and it also stands out for strong academic results, low chronic absenteeism, and a favorable 12.2 student-teacher ratio.
Academically, Endeavor Elementary has been ranked among Wisconsin's top schools: 26th of 1,061 (98th percentile, 5 stars) in 2023–2024, 107th of 1,044 (90th percentile, 4 stars) in 2024–2025, and 270th of 1,039 (74th percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–2026. That remains well above its district, the Portage Community School District, which is ranked 244th of 432 (44th percentile, 2 stars). Mathematics is the clearest strength: 5th grade math scored 100% proficient in both years, and 4th grade math scored 100% in 2024–2025 and 69.23% in 2025–2026. In 2025–2026, the school exceeded the district in every reported test and the state in all but one; the exception was 4th grade ELA at 46.15% versus the state's 53.87%. Chronic absenteeism was 12.5%, better than the district's 20.4% and the state's 17.3%.
The main caution is size: with 57 students across K–5, one student can shift a grade-level proficiency rate by roughly 10 percentage points, so year-to-year changes can be volatile. ELA results vary by grade and cohort, and 4th grade science and social studies fell from 100% in 2024–2025 to 53.85% and 76.92% in 2025–2026, though both still exceeded district levels and social studies exceeded the state. Even with a recent rank decline, Endeavor Elementary remains a 4-star school in the top quartile of ranked Wisconsin schools, with strong math, generally solid ELA, and better-than-average attendance. It spends $17,414 per student and has 33.33% free/reduced lunch enrollment.
