Summary:
Zip code 54727 covers Cadott, Wisconsin, and has three public schools in the Cadott Community School District — Cadott Elementary (PK–5, 436 students), Cadott Junior High (6–8, 134 students), and Cadott High (9–12, 230 students) — serving 800 students in total, with no alternative schools in the area.
The district overall is rated 2 stars and ranks 243rd of 432 in Wisconsin (44th percentile), but that average hides wide differences between schools. Cadott Elementary is the standout: it climbed from 2 stars and the 38th percentile to 4 stars and the 83rd percentile over the reported years, and in 2025–2026 it beat the state average in every listed subject and grade, with especially large leads in 4th-grade science (78.18% vs. 53.46%) and social studies (85.45% vs. 65.51%). Its chronic absenteeism, 9.2%, is also the lowest in the area. Cadott Junior High is more mixed, dropping to the 40th percentile and 2 stars. Its math is solid — 8th-grade math is 69.35% versus 53.67% statewide — but ELA is below state in every grade, and 8th-grade science and social studies also trail the state.
Cadott High presents a split picture. Its graduation rate is 98.4% versus Wisconsin's 92.0%, and its dropout rate of 0.4% is below the state's 1.1%. But chronic absenteeism is 24.5%, well above the district's 14.1% and the state's 17.3%, and more than double the elementary school's rate. Its 2025–2026 ACT scores fell below the state in ELA, math, and science, though social studies was above state — a sharp reversal from 2024–2025, when its ACT results were above state. Note also that 6th grade moved from the elementary to the junior high between the two years, which complicates year-over-year comparisons. Per-student spending is highest at the high school ($19,665) but does not track with outcomes.
