Best Public Schools in Zip Code 54623

Summary:

The zip code 54623 is home to a single elementary school, Coon Valley Elementary, which serves grades PK-4 and is part of the Westby Area School District. With a total enrollment of 115 students, Coon Valley Elementary has seen fluctuating performance in recent years, ranking between 580 out of 1,067 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2022-2023 and 816 out of 1,061 in 2023-2024.

Academically, Coon Valley Elementary has shown mixed results on the Forward Exam, a standardized test in Wisconsin. In 2024-2025, the school outperformed the district and state in 3rd and 4th grade English Language Arts, as well as 4th grade Social Studies, but had lower proficiency rates in 3rd and 4th grade Mathematics and 4th grade Science. The school's chronic absenteeism rate is 17.7%, and its free and reduced-price lunch rate of 26.09% suggests a relatively low socioeconomic status among its student population.

Despite the school's inconsistent performance, it does have some positive attributes, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.9 for the 2023-2024 school year. This may indicate a more personalized learning environment and potentially better support for students. However, further analysis would be needed to fully understand the school's strengths, challenges, and areas for improvement in comparison to other schools in the region.
