Summary:
ZIP code 54614 covers Bangor, Wisconsin, and is served by Bangor School District, which enrolls 665 students across two public schools: Bangor Elementary (PK–5, 313 students) and Bangor Middle/High (grades 6–12, 352 students). The district ranks 212 of 432 in Wisconsin, at the 51st percentile with 3 stars — mid-pack overall — but that single number masks two schools currently moving in opposite directions.
Bangor Middle/High is the standout success story. It fell to the 20th percentile with 1 star in 2024–2025, then jumped to the 69th percentile with 3 stars in 2025–2026, outperforming the state on 9 of 12 listed tests. Highlights include 8th grade math (67.57% vs. 53.67%), 10th grade social studies (62.00% vs. 48.25%), and ACT Science (53.19% vs. 43.20%). Its graduation rate is 93.6% and dropout rate 0.0%, both better than the state, and chronic absenteeism is 11.3% versus the state's 17.3%. ACT Math remains the weak spot at 36.17% against a state figure of 42.93%, though that is a large gain from 23.40% the prior year.
Bangor Elementary has slipped from the 74th percentile with 4 stars in 2023–2024 to the 41st percentile with 2 stars in 2025–2026. Attendance is excellent at 6.3% chronic absenteeism — far below the state's 17.3% — and its student-teacher ratio of 11.8 is slightly better than Middle/High's 12.4. Some grades shine, including 5th grade ELA at 69.39% and 3rd grade ELA at 62.79%. However, 4th grade fell below state in all four tested subjects in 2025–2026, most sharply in science at 34.88% versus 53.46%. Notably, per-student spending is nearly identical between the two schools ($15,527 vs. $15,544), so resources alone do not explain the gap.
