Summary:
ZIP code 54409 in Antigo, Wisconsin has two elementary schools, both in the Antigo Unified School District: West Elementary, which serves PK–1 with 185 students, and North Elementary, which serves grades 2–4 with 154 students. Together they enroll 339 elementary students, and because they split the elementary grades rather than each covering all of them, families move between schools as children advance. The district overall ranks 342 of 432 in Wisconsin, at the 21st percentile with a 1-star rating.
The sharpest difference is attendance. West Elementary has 9.6% chronic absenteeism, well below the district’s 25.0% and the state’s 17.3%, and 14.0 percentage points lower than North Elementary’s 23.6%. North Elementary stands out for improvement, rising from the 12th percentile in 2018–2019 to the 37th percentile with 2 stars in 2025–2026, though it is still below the state median. North also has a lower student-teacher ratio (9.9 vs. 13.5), higher per-student spending ($19,697 vs. $14,751), and a higher free/reduced-price lunch rate (72.08% vs. 63.24%).
Math is the clearest weakness at both schools. West’s 3rd grade math was 41.94%, 13.06 points below state, and North’s math results range from 41.94% to 44.44%, all 10–12 points below state. North’s strengths are subject-specific: in 2025–2026 its 3rd grade ELA (55.77%) beat district and state, and 4th grade science (60.22%) beat the state’s 53.46%, while 4th grade ELA was 10.86 points below state and social studies 4.22 points below. West is listed as PK–1 yet reports 3rd grade test scores, so those results should be read cautiously.
