Summary:
ZIP code 54470 covers Rib Lake, Wisconsin, where three public schools in the Rib Lake School District serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. Total listed enrollment is 481 students: 239 at Rib Lake Elementary (PK–5), 93 at Rib Lake Middle (6–8), and 149 at Rib Lake High (9–12). No alternative schools are listed. The district ranks 64th of 432 Wisconsin districts, at the 85th percentile with 4 stars, and all three schools carry that district rating.
Rib Lake Elementary is the clear standout, rated 5 stars and ranked at the 94th percentile in each of the last three years. Its 2025–2026 test scores beat the state in every listed subject and grade — ELA 71.88–77.78% vs. state 52.08–53.87%, mathematics 77.78–81.82% vs. 51.81–54.75% — and its chronic absenteeism is just 1.0%. Rib Lake Middle shows the fastest improvement, rising from 3 stars and the 62nd percentile to 4 stars and the 81st percentile, with grade 8 ELA at 82.05% and social studies at 79.49%; grade 7 mathematics (52.17%) trails the state. Rib Lake High rebounded from 2 stars to 4 stars, with a 96.5% graduation rate, 0.0% dropout rate, and above-state results in ELA, science, and social studies, though its mathematics ACT of 37.14% is below the state's 42.93% and down from 50.0% a year earlier.
Chronic absenteeism is low districtwide at 4.6% versus the state's 17.3%, though it rises with grade level: 1.0% at the elementary, 4.4% at the middle, and 10.3% at the high school. Free/reduced lunch ranges from 44.30% to 48.39%, and per-student spending varies widely — $12,279 at the elementary, $17,895 at the middle, and $16,819 at the high school — without tracking closely with test results. Student-teacher ratios are similar across all three schools (11.1 to 12.0). With only 93 and 149 students at the middle and high schools, single cohorts can shift percentages noticeably, so year-to-year swings should be read with caution.
