Summary:
ZIP code 54770 covers Strum, Wisconsin, and is served by three public schools — Eleva-Strum Elementary (PK–5, 325 students), Eleva-Strum Middle (6–8, 144 students), and Eleva-Strum High (9–12, 195 students) — all part of the Eleva-Strum School District, with 664 students total across the PK–12 span.
The district as a whole ranks 308th of 432 Wisconsin districts (29th percentile, 1 star), but the individual schools differ sharply. Eleva-Strum Elementary is the standout: ranked 503rd of 1,039 elementary schools in 2025–26 (52nd percentile, 3 stars) and rated 3 stars for three straight years, with 4th grade results above state in math (63.41% vs. 52.87%), social studies (73.17% vs. 65.51%), and science (63.41% vs. 53.46%). Eleva-Strum Middle is uneven by grade — 8th grade is strong in math (65.79% vs. 53.67%), ELA (63.16% vs. 54.38%), and social studies (73.68% vs. 64.63%), while grade 7 math is 32.08% vs. 55.67% and grade 7 ELA 39.62% vs. 55.33%. Eleva-Strum High scored below state in every reported subject in 2025–26, including ACT math at 27.5% vs. 42.93%.
Completion is the high school's strength: a 98.0% graduation rate vs. 92.0% state and a 0.0% dropout rate vs. 1.1% state. Chronic absenteeism is below the state's 17.3% at all three schools — 6.2% elementary, 9.2% middle, 15.3% high — though it more than doubles from elementary to high school. Spending and class size do not track results simply: the high school spends the most per student ($17,774) with the lowest student-teacher ratio (11.3) yet posts the weakest test scores, while the middle school spends the least ($11,982) with the highest ratio (14.7). The high school also has the lowest free/reduced lunch rate (23.08% vs. about 34.5% at the elementary and middle schools). Overall, families here get a strong elementary foundation, a mixed middle school, and a high school that graduates students reliably but struggles on college-readiness exams.
