Summary:
ZIP code 54082 covers Houlton, Wisconsin, and contains just one public school: Houlton Elementary, an elementary school serving grades K–5 with 217 students in the Hudson School District. Because it is the only school in the area, there is no local comparison to make — families here have a single K–5 option, and students move on to schools elsewhere in the district after fifth grade. The area has no middle, high, or alternative school listed within the ZIP code.
Academically, Houlton Elementary stands among the top schools in Wisconsin. It has earned 5 stars in every displayed year of rank history, placing 8th of 1,039 schools (99th percentile) in 2025–2026, 36th of 1,044 (97th percentile) in 2024–2025, and 15th of 1,061 (99th percentile) in 2023–2024. Its district, meanwhile, ranks 37 of 432 districts at the 91st percentile with 5 stars. On the Forward Exam, every reported 2025–2026 result beat both the district and the state. Averaged across reported tests, the school scored 88.38% that year versus 75.76% for the district and 54.75% for the state; in 2024–2025 the school averaged 81.74% against 69.59% district and 53.95% state. Fourth grade is a particular strength, averaging 90.84% in 2025–2026, and 4th-grade Math hit 96.67%. The single relative weak spot across two years was 2024–2025 3rd-grade Math at 57.58%, below the district's 65.37% but still above the state's 55.00%; by 2025–2026 that grade-level result had climbed to 88.89%.
Attendance is another clear standout: chronic absenteeism is just 5.1%, compared with 11.9% district-wide and 17.3% statewide. Enrollment context includes a free/reduced lunch rate of 8.76%, per-student spending of $17,040, and a student-teacher ratio of 12.2. These figures describe the school's setting and may support strong outcomes, but the data alone does not establish cause and effect.
