Summary:

ZIP code 54460, covering Owen, Wisconsin, has three public schools serving grades PK–12, all part of the Owen-Withee School District and all located at 832 W 3rd St in Owen: Owen-Withee Elementary (PK–5, 221 students), Owen-Withee Junior High (6–8, 112 students), and Owen-Withee High (9–12, 139 students), for 472 students total. The district overall is rated 367th of 432 districts, in the 15th percentile with 1 star, but the three schools perform quite differently.

The Owen-Withee Elementary is a relative bright spot: 2 stars and 41st percentile in 2025–26, stable at 41st, 36th, and 41st over three years, with chronic absenteeism of only 6.9% — less than half the district's 14.1% and the state's 17.3%. It beats the state in 4th-grade ELA (62.16% vs. 53.87%) and 4th-grade Social Studies (67.57% vs. 65.51%), but trails in 3rd- and 5th-grade ELA, 4th- and 5th-grade math, and 4th-grade science. The Owen-Withee Junior High is the biggest improver, rising from 23rd percentile and 1 star to 40th percentile and 2 stars, with three tests now above state: 6th-grade ELA (64% vs. 54.95%), 6th-grade math (64% vs. 53.6%), and 7th-grade math (58.33% vs. 55.67%). Its challenges include 18.9% chronic absenteeism and the highest student-teacher ratio (20.1) with the lowest per-student spending ($9,729).

The Owen-Withee High is the weakest performer: 15th percentile, 1 star, down from 28th and 18th percentile in prior years. Its 2025–26 ACT proficiency is far below state: ELA 15.38% vs. 48.47%, math 20.51% vs. 42.93%, science 23.08% vs. 43.2%, and 10th-grade Social Studies 41.94% vs. 48.25%. Absenteeism is 21.4%, above the state, and more than three times the elementary rate. Yet the high school reports 100% graduation and 0.0% dropout, better than the state's 92.0% and 1.1%. Economic need is similar at all three schools (54.68%–58.93% free/reduced lunch), and spending does not track results: the high school spends the most ($17,142) with the weakest scores, while the junior high spends the least yet improved most.
