Summary:
ZIP code 53932 covers Fall River, Wisconsin, where two public schools — Fall River Elementary (grades PK–5) and Fall River High (grades 6–12) — serve 484 students as part of the Fall River School District, with no separate middle school in the area. The district ranks 119th of 432 in Wisconsin, placing it in the 72nd percentile with 4 stars, and because each school covers a full grade span, district test results largely mirror these two schools.
Fall River Elementary is the academic standout. In 2025–2026 it ranked 134th of 1,039 schools — 87th percentile, 4 stars — up from 70th percentile three years earlier. It exceeded the state in every listed Forward Exam subject and grade, with notably large gaps in 3rd grade ELA (80.00 vs 52.08) and 4th grade science (76.67 vs 53.46). Chronic absenteeism is exceptionally low at 1.5%, compared with 5.3% district-wide and 17.3% statewide. Math slipped in all three tested grades year over year but remained well above state.
Fall River High shows a split profile. Its graduation rate is 98.0% (state 92.0%), its dropout rate is 0.0% (state 1.1%), and its 10th grade ACT results beat the state in ELA (59.52 vs 48.47), math (50.00 vs 42.93) and science (54.76 vs 43.20). Yet 7th and 8th grade math (44.83 and 40.00) and 10th grade social studies (39.47) fall below state, and the school's rank moved from 5 stars and the 93rd percentile in 2024–2025 to 3 stars and the 68th percentile in 2025–2026 — volatility likely tied to small cohorts. Absenteeism is 8.2%, and per-student spending is $17,460 versus $16,583 at the elementary school.
