Summary:
ZIP code 54426 in Edgar, Wisconsin is served by three public schools — Edgar Elementary (PK–5), Edgar Middle (6–8), and Edgar High (9–12) — all part of the Edgar School District, which enrolls 568 students and ranks #74 of 432 Wisconsin districts at the 83rd percentile with 4 stars.
All three schools earned 4 stars in 2025–26, and all improved their average proficiency year over year. Edgar Middle is the academic standout: 88th percentile, roughly 73.0% average proficiency, and top results like 89.47% in 8th-grade social studies and 85% in 7th-grade ELA — despite having the highest free/reduced-lunch rate (32.5%) and the lowest per-student spending ($15,625). Edgar Elementary has the best attendance (6.8% chronic absenteeism), smallest classes (9.9 students per teacher), and highest spending ($17,107). Edgar High posts excellent completion numbers — a 98% graduation rate and 1.0% dropout rate — and rebounded from 49th percentile / 2 stars in 2024–25 to 75th percentile / 4 stars in 2025–26, with ACT ELA rising from 43.18% to 56.25%.
The clearest concern is attendance, which worsens sharply by grade level: 6.8% at Elementary, 12.4% at Middle, and 22.7% at High — above both the district (14.0%) and state (17.3%) rates. Otherwise, the picture is strong: all three schools beat the state average on 2025–26 tests, with the only below-state result being Elementary 5th-grade ELA at 51.22% versus the state's 53.63%. Families here can expect academically solid, improving schools, with the main thing to watch being high school absenteeism.
