Summary:

Zip code 54228 covers Mishicot, Wisconsin, where three public schools in the Mishicot School District serve about 945 students across grades PK–12: Schultz Elementary (PK–5, 455 students), Mishicot Middle (6–8, 216 students), and Mishicot High (9–12, 274 students). The district is rated rank 237 of 432, 45th percentile, 2 stars.

Schultz Elementary has improved steadily, from 36th percentile, 2 stars in 2023–2024 to 62nd percentile, 3 stars in 2025–2026. It has the lowest chronic absenteeism at 4.8%, versus 8.0% district and 17.3% state, and its ELA scores are above state in grades 3, 4, and 5, with strong 4th-grade Social Studies (75.00 vs. 65.51) and Science (70.31 vs. 53.46). Its weakness is upper-elementary math: 4th grade 48.44 vs. 52.87 and 5th grade 43.24 vs. 51.81. Mishicot Middle is the math standout, above state in every grade — 6th 64.52 vs. 53.60, 7th 81.16 vs. 55.67 (the highest tested value in the data), and 8th 65.67 vs. 53.67 — with 7.3% absenteeism and a 0.0% dropout rate.

Mishicot High has strong completion metrics — a 97.0 graduation rate vs. 92.0 state and a 0.3 dropout rate vs. 1.1 — but dropped from 71st percentile, 4 stars to 32nd percentile, 2 stars in 2025–2026, falling below state in all four tested areas: Social Studies 32.39 vs. 48.25, ELA ACT 47.37 vs. 48.47, Math ACT 36.84 vs. 42.93, and Science ACT 31.58 vs. 43.20. Absenteeism rises by grade level, from 4.8% to 7.3% to 13.4%, all below the state's 17.3%. Spending and class size do not track with outcomes: the high school spends the most per student ($15,171) with the smallest classes (13.2), while Schultz Elementary spends the least ($12,005) with the largest classes (16.1). Free/reduced lunch rates are similar across all three schools, and the district's 2-star rating appears driven largely by the high school's recent decline.
