Summary:
ZIP code 54727 contains exactly one elementary school: Cadott Elementary, part of the Cadott Community School District in Cadott, Wisconsin. It serves grades PK–5 with 436 students at 463 E Mills St. Because it is the only elementary school in the ZIP code, there are no local peer schools to compare it against; the most useful comparisons are year over year, against the district, and against the state.
Cadott Elementary stands out for a strong upward trend. Its state school rating rose from 2 stars and the 38th percentile in 2023–24, to 3 stars and the 61st percentile in 2024–25, to 4 stars and the 83rd percentile (178th of 1,039 schools) in 2025–26. In 2025–26, every reported Forward Exam result was above the state average in ELA, math, social studies, and science. The largest margins were 4th-grade science (78.18% proficient vs. 53.46% state), 4th-grade social studies (85.45% vs. 65.51%), 4th-grade ELA (72.73% vs. 53.87%), and 5th-grade math (67.21% vs. 51.81%). Chronic absenteeism was 9.2% in 2024–25, well below the district's 14.1% and the state's 17.3%.
Some context is helpful. Half of students (50%) qualify for free/reduced-price lunch, per-student spending is $17,044, and the student-teacher ratio is 11.9, suggesting relatively small classes or strong staffing support. The district's own rating is lower — 2 stars, 44th percentile — though district and school ratings are different measures and are not directly equivalent. Finally, the 2024–25 exam data include 6th-grade results even though the school currently serves PK–5, so year-to-year comparisons involve changing grade spans and student cohorts and should be read with some caution.
