Summary:
ZIP code 54471 covers Ringle, Wisconsin, and contains just one public school: Riverside Elementary, an elementary serving grades K–5 with 487 students, part of the D C Everest Area School District. Because this ZIP code has no middle, high, or alternative schools, families have a single school for the elementary years and will look to the wider district afterward. With only one school, there are no in-ZIP peers to compare against, so the most useful comparisons are against the district and the state of Wisconsin.
Riverside Elementary stands out on those comparisons. In 2025–2026 it ranked 53rd of 1,039 Wisconsin schools — the 95th percentile, a 5-star rating — up from 116th of 1,044 (89th percentile, 4 stars) in 2024–2025 and 152nd of 1,061 (86th percentile, 4 stars) in 2023–2024, a gain of 99 positions in two years. The district overall is mid-pack at 210th of 432 (51st percentile, 3 stars), so the school performs well above its district profile. In 2025–2026 it outperformed both the district and the state in every reported subject and grade: 3rd-grade math at 91.57% proficiency (+36.82 points vs. the state), 4th-grade social studies at 88.64% (+23.13), 4th-grade science at 78.41% (+24.95), and 5th-grade ELA at 73.53% (+19.90). The smallest margin over the state was still +18.86 points, in 4th-grade ELA.
Attendance is another clear strength: chronic absenteeism is 5.5%, about half the district's 10.9% and roughly a third of the state's 17.3%. For context, 18.28% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, per-student spending is $13,206, and the student-teacher ratio is 15.5. Scores improved year over year in five of the eight reported tests, including a 16.39-point rise in 5th-grade ELA; small dips in 4th-grade ELA, 4th-grade math, and science still left results well above district and state. Overall, this is a high-performing elementary school with rising rankings and excellent attendance.
