Summary:
ZIP code 54177 serves Wausaukee, Wisconsin, with three public schools — Wausaukee Elementary (PK–5), Wausaukee Middle (6–8), and Wausaukee High (9–12) — all in the Wausaukee School District, sharing one highway address and enrolling 385 students combined.
The district ranks 409th of 432 in Wisconsin, at the 5th percentile with 0 stars, and each school carries a 1-star rank history for 2025–2026. Among the three, Wausaukee Middle has the clearest academic bright spots: 8th grade social studies at 73.68% proficient versus 64.63% statewide, and 8th grade science at 57.89% versus 51.86%. It also has the lowest student-teacher ratio (9.6) and the lowest free/reduced lunch rate (45.74%). Wausaukee High posts the strongest completion numbers — a 93.0% graduation rate against 92.0% statewide and a 0.0% dropout rate against 1.1% — and its rank percentile climbed from 17 to 20 to 26, though its chronic absenteeism (19.8%) is the highest of the three and its ACT math (31.58% vs. 42.93%) and ACT science (26.32% vs. 43.20%) lag well behind. Wausaukee Elementary has the best attendance, at 12.9% chronic absenteeism, but the weakest test profile, including 0.00% proficiency in 5th grade mathematics against 51.81% statewide.
Patterns worth noting: absenteeism rises with grade level (12.9%, 18.7%, 19.8%); spending does not track neatly with results, with the high school spending the most ($19,448 per student) and the elementary the least ($17,180); and small cohorts of 94 and 123 students can produce sharp year-to-year swings, so single-year percentages should be read with caution.
