Summary:
ZIP code 54177 is served by exactly one elementary school — Wausaukee Elementary, part of the Wausaukee School District — which enrolls 168 students in grades PK–5 in the Wausaukee area of northeastern Wisconsin. Because it is the only elementary school in the ZIP, every comparison below is against the district and the state rather than another local school. For the tested grades, the school's results are also the district's results, since no other school contributes to those figures.
Academics are the area of greatest concern. In 2025–2026, no tested grade or subject reached the state average, and the overall school average was 22.3% proficient versus 54.7% statewide; in 2024–2025 the gap was also wide at 25.5% versus 54.0%. Math is the clearest weakness, averaging 15.8% in 2025–2026 and 12.7% in 2024–2025, including 0% proficiency in 5th grade Math in 2025–2026 and in 4th grade Math in 2024–2025. Those are exact 0% values, not suppressed ones. Relative bright spots were 4th grade Science at 33.33% and 3rd grade Math at 30.77% in 2025–2026, while 4th grade Social Studies fell from 56.25% in 2024–2025 to 27.78% in 2025–2026 — though a different cohort took each test.
Attendance is a genuine strength: chronic absenteeism was 12.9%, better than the district's 16.8% and the state's 17.3%. Just over half of students (53.57%) qualify for free/reduced lunch, per-student spending is $17,180, and the student-teacher ratio is 13.4. Rankings, however, are low and slipping: the school sits at 933 of 1,039 (10th percentile, 1 star) in 2025–2026, down from the 17th percentile three years earlier, and the district ranks 409 of 432 (5th percentile, 0 stars). With small grade cohorts, single-year swings should be read cautiously; the broad gaps versus the state and the consistently low math results are the most reliable takeaways.
