Summary:
ZIP code 54552 is served by two public schools in the Chequamegon School District — Park Falls Elementary (PK–5, 290 students) and Chequamegon High (grades 9–12, 196 students) — together enrolling 486 students, with no middle school listed in this ZIP and students likely transitioning elsewhere for grades 6–8.
Park Falls Elementary is the stronger overall performer. Its chronic absenteeism is 9.8%, less than half the district's 16.1% and the state's 17.3%. Its state rank has climbed steadily, from the 32nd percentile in 2023–24 to 58th percentile in 2025–26, earning 3 stars the past two years. Test scores are mostly above state averages, with grade 3 math 70.21% proficient versus 54.75% statewide. The clear weak spot is grade 4 math, at 45.45% versus the state's 52.87%. Note that 59.31% of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch.
At Chequamegon High, completion outcomes are strong: a 96.3% graduation rate and a 0.5% dropout rate, both better than the state's 92.0% and 1.1%. Science ACT proficiency is 55.81% versus 43.2% statewide, and math is slightly above state. Two concerns stand out: ELA ACT proficiency fell to 30.23%, far below the state's 48.47%, and chronic absenteeism is 23.4%, well above both the district and the state's 17.3%. Both schools rank above the Chequamegon School District's composite of 46th percentile with 2 stars, since each earned 3 stars in 2025–26. With small enrollments, single-year swings should be read with caution.
