Summary:
ZIP code 54841 has exactly one public school: Haugen Elementary, an elementary school serving grades PK–4 with 83 students, part of the Rice Lake Area School District. Because there is no middle school, high school, or alternative school in this ZIP code, families have one local option for the early grades, and older students must attend school elsewhere for grades 5–12.
Haugen Elementary stands out within its district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 327th out of 1,039 schools statewide — the 69th percentile with 3 stars — up from 468th out of 1,044, or the 55th percentile, the year before, a gain of 141 positions. The district as a whole is listed at the 46th percentile with 2 stars. Chronic absenteeism is a clear strength: 7.2% at the school versus 13.4% district-wide and 17.3% statewide. About 45.78% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, per-student spending is $17,645, and the student-teacher ratio is 9.6.
Reported test results in 2025–2026 were strong in most subjects: 3rd grade math at 100% proficient, 4th grade English language arts at 80%, 4th grade social studies at 73.33%, and 3rd grade ELA at 66.67% — all above district and state levels. The exception is 4th grade science at 46.67%, below the district's 49.64% and the state's 53.46%. Year over year, 4th grade ELA and 3rd grade math improved sharply, while science slipped from 61.54%. With only 83 students, a single child can shift a grade-level percentage substantially, so these results are best read with the small class sizes in mind.
