Summary:
ZIP code 54853 serves Luck, Wisconsin, a small community where all three public schools — Luck Elementary (PK–5, 174 students), Luck Middle (6–8, 82 students), and Luck High (9–12, 102 students) — belong to the Luck School District, share a single campus at 810 S 7th St, and together enroll just 358 students.
The elementary and middle schools are the bright spots. Both rose to 3-star ratings in the latest rankings; Luck Elementary climbed from the 29th percentile to the 58th, and Luck Middle from the 33rd to the 54th. Attendance is a district-wide strength: every school beats the state's 17.3% chronic absenteeism rate, with elementary especially low at 5.7%, middle at 11.3%, and high at 15.5%. Luck High tells a mixed story. It reports a 100% graduation rate and a 0.9% dropout rate, but its ranking slipped to 2 stars (47th percentile), and its ACT results in ELA, math, and science all fell below state averages.
Test scores swing widely by grade, which is typical of small cohorts. Elementary grade 4 made large gains, while grade 5 dropped well below state in both ELA (26.32%) and math (21.05%). Middle grade 8 improved strongly in math (75.00%) and social studies (66.67%), while grade 6 slipped below state in ELA (40.91%) and math (45.45%). Spending differs across buildings — high spends the most per student at $20,275, middle the least at $15,757 — yet the lowest-spending school showed the strongest recent improvement. The district overall is rated 2 stars, 46th percentile, which masks the fact that two of its three schools earned 3 stars.
