Summary:
ZIP code 54001 covers Amery, Wisconsin, and is served by four public schools spanning PK–12: Amery High (grades 9–12, 418 students), Lien Elementary (PK–2, 299), Amery Middle (6–8, 275), and Amery Intermediate (3–5, 260). All four belong to the Amery School District, which ranks 57th of 432 districts statewide — the 87th percentile with 4 stars. Total enrollment is 1,252 students.
Amery Middle is the academic standout, ranking 45th of 643 schools (93rd percentile, 5 stars) in 2025–2026, with two of its last three years at 5 stars. Its 8th-grade math score of 86.52 is 32.85 points above the state, and its 8th-grade ELA, science, and social studies results are also well above state. Amery High tells the biggest improvement story, climbing from 2 stars and the 44th percentile to 4 stars and the 80th percentile in one year, alongside a 99.1% graduation rate versus 92.0% statewide. Lien Elementary reports very high 3rd-grade results (math 87.50 vs. 55.00 state), and Amery Intermediate has improved its rank three years running, now 4 stars at the 77th percentile.
Key metrics are mostly favorable. Chronic absenteeism is low at Lien (5.9%), Amery Intermediate (7.2%), and Amery Middle (7.3%) versus 17.3% statewide, but Amery High is higher at 15.1% — still under the state figure, though above the district's 9.6%. Free/reduced lunch ranges from 32.06% to 41.15%, so strong results are not limited to one low-poverty school. Per-student spending runs $15,597 to $20,993, highest at Amery Middle and lowest at Amery High. Two caveats for parents: Lien's listed PK–2 grade span conflicts with its 3rd-grade test data, and Amery High's prior-year ACT math and science fell below state before rebounding. Only one current-year result sits below state — Amery Intermediate 5th-grade ELA at 52.87 vs. 53.63.
