Summary:
ZIP code 54446 covers Loyal, Wisconsin — a small rural community served by three public schools: Loyal Elementary (PK–5, 183 students), Loyal Middle School (6–8, 108 students), and Loyal High (9–12, 168 students). All three belong to Loyal School District and share one PK–12 campus, serving 459 students in total.
Each building tells a different story. Loyal High is the only school improving: its state rank climbed from the 11th percentile to the 31st over three years, moving from 1 star to 2 stars, with a 97.3% graduation rate versus 92.0% statewide and a 0.6% dropout rate, roughly half the state's. Loyal Elementary holds the district's strongest single result — 3rd grade English at 70.59% versus 52.08% statewide — plus the smallest classes, an 8.6-to-1 student-teacher ratio, and 5.6% chronic absenteeism. Loyal Middle School has the best attendance at 4.8% chronic absenteeism and a 0.0% dropout rate, but has declined fastest, dropping from 3 stars to 1 star in two years.
Overall, only 3 of 20 tested measures came in above the state in 2025‑26, and the district is ranked 389 of 432 statewide with a 1-star rating. Grade 4 at the elementary is below state in all four subjects, and science is below state at every level — making it the clearest district-wide priority. At the high school, chronic absenteeism of 15.3% is above the 9.1% district rate and nearly triple the middle school's, so attendance work belongs mainly in grades 9–12. Because class sizes are small, year-to-year swings should be read with caution.
