Best Public Schools in Zip Code 54865

The 54865 zip code is home to two schools: South Shore Elementary and South Shore Junior/Senior High, both part of the South Shore School District. While the elementary school is a standout performer, the high school has more mixed results, but the district as a whole is ranked among the top 70 out of 426 in Wisconsin.

South Shore Elementary consistently outperforms the state average on assessments, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, South Shore Junior/Senior High has a more varied performance, with some grades and subjects exceeding the state average and others falling behind. The high school's graduation rate of 91% is commendable, but its dropout rate of 1.3% is worth monitoring.

Both schools have relatively high per-student spending, suggesting a significant investment in education. However, the elementary school has a higher free/reduced lunch rate of 55.45% compared to the high school's 39.58%, which may indicate changes in the socioeconomic demographics of the student population as they progress through the system. Additionally, the high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% at both schools is an area of concern that the district may want to address.
