Summary:
ZIP code 54113 covers Combined Locks, Wisconsin, and contains exactly one public school — Janssen Elementary — which serves grades PK–4 with 339 students and belongs to the Kimberly Area School District; because there are no middle or high schools in the ZIP, families here look outside 54113 for those grades. Since Janssen is the only school in the area, the most useful comparisons are Janssen against its district and the state of Wisconsin, and against its own prior-year results.
Janssen stands out sharply on outcomes. In 2025–2026 it beat the state in all six reported assessments, with third grade English language arts at 87.14% (35.06 points above the state's 52.08%) and third grade math at 82.86% (28.11 points above the state). Fourth grade results were also strong — ELA 70.15%, math 71.64%, social studies 79.10%, science 70.15% — each above the state average. Janssen also topped its district in four of the six assessments; the two exceptions were fourth grade math (2.18 points below district) and fourth grade social studies (1.96 points below district), both still comfortably above the state. Its statewide ranking jumped from 260th of 1,044 schools in 2024–2025 to 99th of 1,039 in 2025–2026, moving from the 75th to the 90th percentile and earning a 5-star rating after two 4-star years. Every subject and grade improved year over year, led by third grade math (+22.86 points) and third grade ELA (+13.29 points).
Other indicators round out the picture. Chronic absenteeism was just 5.9% in 2024–2025, compared with 8.1% for the district and 17.3% statewide — roughly a third of the state rate. About 21.83% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch, spending per student was $12,713, and the student-to-teacher ratio was 13.1, so the school is not an extreme outlier on inputs; the standout pattern is in results. One caution for parents: with a single school and small grade-level cohorts, percentages can shift from year to year, but the breadth of above-state performance and the overall direction of improvement are consistent.
