Summary:
Zip code 54020 in Osceola, Wisconsin is served by four public schools — all part of Osceola School District — covering PK through 12th grade and enrolling roughly 1,421 students. The four schools form one clean, non-overlapping pipeline: Osceola Elementary (PK–K, 250 students), Osceola Intermediate (grades 1–4, 275), Osceola Middle (grades 5–8, 398), and Osceola High (grades 9–12, 498). The district ranks 114th of 432 statewide — the 74th percentile — and holds 4 stars.
Osceola Middle is the academic engine of the district. It beat the state in all 10 of its tested subject-grade combinations, with 8th grade math at 75% proficient against a state rate of 53.67% and 7th grade math at 68.48% against 55.67%. It was the only 5-star school in the zip code in 2023-24, yet it spends the least per student ($13,297). Osceola High delivers the best completion outcomes: a 99.2% graduation rate versus 92.0% statewide and a 0.0% dropout rate, while outperforming the state in all four tested subjects.
Osceola Intermediate is the relative laggard — the only 3-star school and the only one below the state in the latest year, with 3rd grade math at 48.48% against 54.75%. Its 4th grade results are strong, though, so the weakness is concentrated. Attendance rises with grade level, from 9.3% chronic absenteeism at PK–K to 16.6% at the high school, and every school still beats the state's 17.3%. Notably, class size and spending do not track achievement here: the high school has the largest classes and highest spending, the middle school the lowest spending, and both post the district's strongest results. Families should watch elementary math and secondary attendance.
