Summary:
Zip code 54208 is served by a single elementary school: Denmark Elementary, a PK–5 school with 778 students in Denmark, Wisconsin, and part of the Denmark School District. The surrounding context is relatively favorable — 22.75% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, per-student spending is $11,944, and the student-teacher ratio is 14.8. Because there are no other elementary schools in the zip code, the most useful comparisons are between Denmark Elementary and the state, and across its own recent years.
The school's standout strength is attendance: chronic absenteeism in 2024-25 was just 1.9%, less than half the district's 4.3% and roughly one-ninth Wisconsin's 17.3%. Academically, 5th grade shines. In 2025-26, 5th grade ELA proficiency was 70.00% against a state figure of 53.63%, and 5th grade math was 74.55% against 51.81% — both improved over the prior year. Fourth graders also outperformed the state in social studies (74.31% vs. 65.51%) and science (65.45% vs. 53.46%), and the school's overall proficiency average of about 61.4% in 2025-26 sits above the state's 54.7%.
There are areas to watch. Third grade is the clearest relative weakness: in 2025-26, ELA was 46.15% and math 49.57%, both below state averages, and 3rd grade ELA was below state in 2024-25 as well. Fourth grade scores fell across all four subjects, with 4th grade math dipping to 52.29%, just under the state's 52.87%. Reflecting these trends, the school's rank slipped from the 77th percentile in 2023-24 to the 62nd in 2025-26, and its stars went from 4 to 3 — still above median, but not trending upward.
