ZIP code 53959 in Reedsburg, Wisconsin is served by five public schools — three elementary, one middle, and one high school — all part of the Reedsburg School District, enrolling roughly 2,554 students across grades PK–12. The district overall ranks 277th of 432 districts in Wisconsin (36th percentile, 2 stars), but the individual schools vary widely from one another.

Prairie Ridge Intermediate stands out for the lowest chronic absenteeism in the group (11.2%, versus the district's 18.4% and the state's 17.3%) and the highest single proficiency score in the data set: 4th grade math at 70.25% against a state figure of 52.87%, plus 4th grade science at 63.92%. Webb Middle also posts strong attendance (13.7% chronic absenteeism) and a 0.0% dropout rate, with 8th grade math at 65.22% and 8th grade science at 58.15% in 2024–2025 — although its 8th grade results fell sharply in 2025–2026, including ELA at 40.64% versus the state's 54.38%. Reedsburg Area High has the strongest completion outcomes (96.3% graduation rate, 0.7% dropout rate) but by far the highest chronic absenteeism, at 27.9%, well above district and state.

West Side Elementary has the smallest enrollment (198) and the highest poverty indicator (61.11% free/reduced lunch), along with the highest per-student spending ($18,599) and the lowest student-teacher ratio (9.9). Pineview Elementary has the lowest free/reduced lunch rate (37.18%) and low absenteeism (12.6%). Neither Pineview nor West Side has current test scores, since both serve PK–2, and their rank histories are outdated. Among schools with data, math is generally the relative strength and English Language Arts the relative weakness, and high absenteeism is concentrated at the high school — excluding it, the other four schools average about 13.1% chronic absenteeism, below the state's 17.3%.
