Summary:

ZIP code 54853 contains exactly one elementary school, Luck Elementary, which serves PK–5 with 174 students as part of Luck School District. Because it is the only elementary school in the area, it stands out by default. In 2025–2026, strengths include 3rd grade math at 77.27% proficient (state 54.75%), 4th grade science at 70.83% (state 53.46%), 4th grade social studies at 75% (state 65.51%), and 3rd and 4th grade ELA at 63.64% and 62.5%, both above state. Chronic absenteeism is very low at 5.7% (district 10.1%, state 17.3%), and the school improved to 3 stars / 58th percentile from 1 star / 29th percentile. The clearest concern is 5th grade, where ELA was 26.32% and math 21.05% in 2025–2026, both far below state.

Key metrics show an 8.8 student-teacher ratio, 44.25% free/reduced lunch, and $18,386 per-student spending. The district rank is 234 of 432, at the 46th percentile with 2 stars. In rank history, the school improved by 313 positions from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 and gained 2 stars; its 58th percentile is above the district’s 46th. For 2025–2026 Forward Exam proficiency, district scores equal school scores for every listed test, so district comparisons mirror the school’s results.

Across the eight listed 2025–2026 assessments, the simple average school proficiency was about 57.4% versus a state average of about 54.8%. In 2024–2025, the average was about 44.5% versus about 54.0% statewide, showing major one-year improvement. However, the trajectory is uneven. The 5th grade concern appears cohort-related: the 2024–2025 4th grade cohort had low ELA (26.09%) and math (34.78%), and as 5th graders their ELA stayed low (26.32%) and math fell to 21.05%. Meanwhile, 4th grade science rose from 26.09% to 70.83% and social studies from 43.48% to 75%, moving from below state to above state. Because grade-level cohorts are small, these swings may partly reflect cohort differences. The school’s small size and low student-teacher ratio may allow targeted support, especially for the 5th grade cohort.
