Summary:
ZIP code 54025 is served by three public schools — Somerset Elementary (PK–4, 577 students), Somerset Middle (5–8, 415 students), and Somerset High (9–12, 453 students) — all part of the Somerset School District, which is ranked 99th of 432 Wisconsin districts (77th percentile, 4 stars). Total enrollment across the three schools is 1,445.
Somerset Middle is the clearest academic standout, ranking 121st of 643 schools (81st percentile, 4 stars) and holding a 4-star rating in all three reported years. Its proficiency average of about 69.1% compares with a state average of about 55.0%, and its 8th-grade results are exceptionally strong: social studies 86.67%, math 79.05%, science 76.19%, and ELA 75.24%, all well above Wisconsin. Somerset High pairs above-state test scores with a 98.9% graduation rate and a 0.2% dropout rate, far better than the state's 92.0% and 1.1%. Somerset Elementary performs above the state in every tested subject (about 65.1% versus 55.4%) and has the lowest chronic absenteeism in the group at 3.3%.
Absenteeism is a district-wide strength: middle school is 5.6% and high school 3.8%, against a state rate of 17.3%. Free/reduced-price lunch is consistent across the three schools, ranging only from 21.85% to 23.22%. Per-student spending rises with grade level — $13,330 at the elementary, $14,626 at the middle, and $15,150 at the high school — but outcomes do not follow that pattern, as the middle school achieves the strongest results with the lowest student-teacher ratio at 14.5. The main items to watch are grade-level volatility: 7th-grade math fell from 81.73% to 57.78% and 6th-grade ELA from 66.32% to 55.79%; 3rd-grade math dropped from 68.93% to 63.83%, while 4th-grade math improved from 57.61% to 60.61%. At the high school, social studies and science declined year over year but stayed above state averages, and math remains the narrowest margin at +3.39 points.
