Summary:
ZIP code 54170 covers Shiocton, Wisconsin — a small, single-district community with just two public schools: Shiocton Elementary (grades PK–8, 517 students) and Shiocton High (grades 9–12, 208 students). Both are run by the Shiocton School District, both sit on Broad Street, and together they serve 725 students, so the entire district effectively operates as one campus. Grades 6–8 are housed inside the elementary building, and there is no standalone middle school or alternative school.
The two schools are moving in opposite directions. Shiocton High has climbed from the 13th to the 47th to the 69th percentile over three years (1 star to 3 stars) and now scores above the state average in all four tested subjects. Shiocton Elementary has slipped from the 65th to the 48th percentile (3 stars to 2 stars), but that single number hides wide differences inside the building: grades 6–8 are strong, with 7th- and 8th-grade math roughly 18–19 points above the state rate and 8th-grade social studies (76.92%) the highest result in the data, while 3rd grade is below state in every subject — ELA at 26.92% and math at 30.77%, about half the state rate. Note that the two schools' percentile ranks are measured against different groups of schools, so the high school's 69 and the elementary's 48 are not directly comparable.
Where both schools clearly stand out is attendance and completion. Chronic absenteeism is 1.1% at the elementary and 2.9% at the high school, against a 17.3% state rate, with 0.0% dropout at both and a 94.5% graduation rate (state: 92.0%). Spending runs roughly $19,400–$20,200 per student, with student-teacher ratios near 11.5:1 and 11.9:1. Because each grade holds only about 50–70 students, individual year-to-year figures are best read as estimates rather than precise measurements.
