ZIP code 54484 covers the Stratford area in central Wisconsin, and this data set contains just one elementary school there: Stratford Elementary, the only elementary campus in the Stratford School District. It serves grades PK through 5, enrolls 328 students, and is located at 213311 Legion St, Stratford, WI 54484.
