Summary:
ZIP code 54841 contains one elementary school, Haugen Elementary, a PK–4 school in Haugen, Wisconsin with 83 students, part of the Rice Lake Area School District.
Because it is the only elementary school in this ZIP code, the most useful comparison is between Haugen and its district and state. Haugen's strongest data point is its school ranking: in 2025–2026 it placed 327th out of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools, or the 69th percentile, earning 3 stars. That is up from the 55th percentile in 2024–2025 and 60th percentile in 2023–2024. The district, by contrast, ranks 235th of 432 districts, at the 46th percentile with 2 stars. Attendance is another clear strength: chronic absenteeism at the school is 7.2%, compared with 13.4% in the district and 17.3% statewide — less than half the state rate. The school also serves a relatively high free/reduced lunch population at 45.78%, while having a low student-teacher ratio of 9.6 and per-student spending of $17,645 in 2024–2025.
Academically, Haugen is above both district and state in five of six reported Forward Exam areas in 2025–2026, including 100% proficiency in 3rd grade math, 80% in 4th grade English language arts, 73.33% in 4th grade social studies, and 66.67% in 3rd grade ELA. The exception is 4th grade science, at 46.67% proficient, below the district's 49.64% and the state's 53.46%, and down from 61.54% the year before. The school's simple average across the six tests rose from 58.46 to 70.00 in one year. Parents should note that with only 83 students, grade-level cohorts are small, so a student or two can shift percentages sharply and year-to-year swings should be read with caution.
