Summary:

ZIP code 54201 in Algoma, Wisconsin, is served by three schools, all part of the Algoma School District: Algoma Elementary (grades PK–6, 301 students), Algoma High (grades 7–12, 287 students), and Algoma Venture Academy (grades 7–12, 35 students). Total reported enrollment is 623. There is no standalone middle school, so grades 7–8 are housed within the two 7–12 high schools. The district as a whole ranks 378 of 432 in Wisconsin, at the 12th percentile with 1 star, and that same district rating is attached to all three schools.

Looking at the schools individually, Algoma Elementary is the standout: it ranks at the 49th percentile with 2 stars and has improved steadily (32nd to 36th to 49th percentile) while holding 2 stars. Its chronic absenteeism is just 7.7%, well below the district's 11.4% and the state's 17.3%, and its 4th grade Social Studies score of 79.55% is the highest proficiency figure in the data set. Algoma High ranks at the 20th percentile with 1 star, yet posts a 94.0% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate. Algoma Venture Academy, at the 17th percentile with 1 star, is by far the smallest school, with the highest free/reduced lunch share (48.57%), the highest absenteeism (24.2%), and an 85.7% graduation rate.

The clearest shared weakness is mathematics. Every elementary math grade fell below the state average in 2025–2026, with 5th grade at 37.14% versus 51.81% for the state. At Algoma High, 8th grade math was 20.45% versus 53.67% statewide. Because Algoma Venture Academy enrolls only 35 students, its results can swing widely from year to year and should be read with caution.
