Schools in Zip Code 54165

Zip code 54165 has three public schools, all in the Seymour Community School District: Rock Ledge Elementary for grades PK–5 (553 students), Seymour Middle for grades 6–8 (284 students), and Seymour High for grades 9–12 (590 students). Together they enroll 1,427 students, and the district as a whole ranks 293 of 432 in Wisconsin — the 32nd percentile, 2 stars.

Seymour Middle stands out as the strongest performer: it is the only school rated 3 stars in each of the last three years, ranked 263 of 643 (59th percentile) for 2025–2026, with a listed test average of 58.29% versus 55.51% statewide. Its 7th grade mathematics score of 71.28% is well above the state's 55.67%. Rock Ledge Elementary is the most improved, climbing from the 29th to the 46th percentile and landing essentially at the state average (54.56% vs 54.75%); 4th grade science (62.32% vs 53.46%) is a highlight, while 5th grade mathematics (38.20% vs 51.81%) is the clearest gap. Seymour High graduates 95.8% of students (state: 92.0%) with a 0.1% dropout rate, but its test scores trail the state in every 2025–2026 subject and its chronic absenteeism is 24.9%, well above the 17.3% state rate.

Notably, poverty levels do not track neatly with results here: Seymour High has the lowest free/reduced lunch rate (29.15%) yet the weakest test scores, while Rock Ledge Elementary (44.85%) and Seymour Middle (42.25%) serve more low-income students but post better outcomes. All three schools improved their percentile rank year over year, though only the middle school is currently above the median. For families, the district's overall 32nd-percentile ranking masks real differences between buildings — strength and momentum at the middle and elementary levels, and a high school where completion is strong but proficiency and attendance need attention.
