Schools in Zip Code 54761

Zip code 54761 covers Plum City, Wisconsin and is home to three public schools — one elementary (grades PK–5), one middle school (grades 6–8), and one high school (grades 9–12) — all part of the Plum City School District, which is ranked 273 of 432 districts in Wisconsin (37th percentile, 2 stars). Total enrollment across all three schools is just 215 students, so grade-level percentages can swing substantially from year to year based on a few students.

Plum City Middle School is the clear standout: 4 stars, ranked 185 of 643 schools (71st percentile), and above the state in 7 of 8 tested subjects. It improved sharply year over year — science grade 8 rose from 46.67% to 69.23% and ELA grade 8 from 33.33% to 61.54% — with its only below-state result in 7th grade math (52.38% vs. 55.67%). It achieves this with the highest free/reduced lunch rate (47.06%) and student-teacher ratio (13.4) of the three and the lowest reported per-student spending ($8,184). Plum City Elementary reports 0.0% chronic absenteeism against 9.0% for the district and 17.3% for the state, but its 2025-26 achievement is uneven: 4th and 5th grade ELA and 5th grade math are above state, while 3rd grade ELA and math (both 23.08%) and 4th grade science (40% vs. 53.46%) fall below.

Plum City High graduates 94.1% of students, above the state's 92.0%, and its 10th grade ELA ACT score (52.94%) beats the state (48.47%). Math (35.29%) and social studies (37.5%) are below state, and science is far below at 23.53% versus 43.2%. Chronic absenteeism is 17.3%, matching the state but nearly double the district's 9.0%. Across the district, science is polarized — strong at the middle school, below state at both the elementary and high school.
