Summary:
ZIP code 54230 has two public schools, both in the Reedsville School District: Reedsville Elementary, serving grades PK–6 with 320 students, and Reedsville Junior/Senior High School, serving grades 7–12 with 256 students — 576 students in all. There is no standalone middle school; grades 7 and 8 are part of the junior/senior high. The district is ranked 287th of 432 in Wisconsin, at the 34th percentile with 2 stars, but that single district rating masks two schools moving in opposite directions.
Reedsville Elementary is the standout. Its state percentile rose from 48 to 54 to 67 over three years, moving from 2 stars to 3 stars and into the top third of ranked elementary schools. In 2025–2026, every tested elementary grade was above the state average in math, and 4th grade was strong across the board: 72.22% proficient in ELA, 80.56% in math, 80.56% in social studies, and 66.67% in science. Chronic absenteeism is 9.6%, well below the district's 14.4% and the state's 17.3% — even though the elementary school has a higher free/reduced-lunch rate (35.62%) than the high school (21.09%). The clearest weak spot is 5th grade ELA, at 47.62% versus 53.63% statewide.
Reedsville Junior/Senior High moved the other way, falling from the 45th to the 38th to the 25th percentile and from 2 stars to 1 star, now in the bottom quartile. Chronic absenteeism is 19.4%, above both district and state, and 10th grade ACT results trail the state in ELA (31.82% vs. 48.47%), math (27.27% vs. 42.93%), and science (34.09% vs. 43.20%). The completion picture is much brighter: a 95.6% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate, both better than state. The high school also spends more per student ($16,205 vs. $14,486) with smaller classes (11.4 vs. 12.9 students per teacher). Because these are small schools, single-year swings should be read with caution.
