Summary:
ZIP code 54128 is home to exactly one elementary school: Gresham Elementary, located at 501 Schabow St in Gresham, Wisconsin. It serves grades PK through 5 with 132 students and is the only tested school in the Gresham School District, so district figures mirror the school's own results in every subject — the state is the only meaningful comparison. The school currently ranks 594 of 1,039 schools (43rd percentile, 2 stars), up from the 33rd percentile two years earlier, with a 3-star peak in between.
Math is the clearest strength: Gresham Elementary beat the state in five of six math grade-level results across the last two years, including 4th-grade math at 64.71% versus 52.87% state and 5th-grade math at 61.90% versus 51.81%. Social studies is the only subject above state in both years (+12.5 points in 2024‑25, +5.1 in 2025‑26). English Language Arts is the mirror-image weakness — below state in five of six grade-years, with the grade-averaged gap widening from 7.7 to 10.9 points, and math outperforming ELA by double digits in every grade. Science flipped from slightly above state (+1.55) to below state (−6.40).
The largest concern is chronic absenteeism at 28.4% — about 1.64× the state rate of 17.3% and even above its own district's 25.5%. Resources are generous: $19,188 per student and a 10.3:1 student–teacher ratio, with 57.58% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch. A key caution for parents: grade cohorts appear to number roughly 14–21 students, so single-year swings of 20–30 points can reflect just a few students. The consistent cross-grade patterns — math ahead of ELA every year — are far more reliable than any one year's movement.
