Summary:
ZIP code 54015 in Hammond, Wisconsin is served by the Saint Croix Central School District, which lists three schools: one high school for grades 9–12, one middle school for grades 5–8, and one alternative virtual school for grades PK–12, with no separately classified elementary schools. Combined enrollment is 1,237 students, split fairly evenly between Saint Croix Central High (486) and Saint Croix Central Middle (476), with Saint Croix Virtual Academy Inc (275) making up the rest. The Saint Croix Central School District holds a 3-star rating and ranks 205 of 432 Wisconsin districts, at the 53rd percentile.
Saint Croix Central Middle is the strongest performer, ranking at the 69th percentile in 2025–2026 and beating the state in nearly every tested area — for example, 8th-grade social studies at 82.05% versus the state's 64.63%. Its chronic absenteeism of 9.0% is well below the district's 10.3% and the state's 17.3%, and its dropout rate is 0.0%. Even so, its rank has slipped from the 90th percentile and 5 stars in 2023–2024 to the 69th percentile and 3 stars now. Saint Croix Central High posts excellent completion numbers — a 96.8% graduation rate and 0.4% dropout rate — but chronic absenteeism is 20.9%, more than double the middle school's, and its 10th-grade math ACT score fell to 35.05% against a state figure of 42.93%.
Saint Croix Virtual Academy Inc is the most different of the three, with the highest free/reduced-lunch rate (38.18%), the lowest per-student spending ($9,992), and the highest student/teacher ratio (28.0). Its graduation rate is 90.6% and its dropout rate 5.2%, both weaker than the district and state, yet it reports 0.0% chronic absenteeism. Its test scores swing widely — 100% in 8th-grade ELA and social studies alongside 20% in 7th-grade math — which likely reflects small cohort sizes, so year-to-year comparisons should be read with caution. The district's overall rating hides these very different school profiles.
