Summary:
ZIP code 54969 in Readfield, Wisconsin, is home to a single public school — Readfield Elementary — an elementary school serving grades PK–4 with 121 students as part of the New London School District. Because there is only one school here, there are no middle or high schools in the ZIP code, and students move on to schools outside the area after grade 4.
Readfield Elementary's standout strength is attendance: chronic absenteeism is 4.5%, well below the district's 7.7% and far below the state's 17.3%. Academically, math and social studies are the most reliable bright spots. In 2024–2025, 4th grade math proficiency was 80.95% versus 53.96% statewide, and 4th grade social studies was 80.95% versus 63.65%. In 2025–2026, both remained above district and state, with 4th grade math at 75.00% and social studies at 75.00%. The school earned 4 stars in 2023–2024 and 2024–2025 (80th and 79th percentiles), ranking above its district, which sits at 238th of 432 districts (45th percentile). Per-student spending was $15,484 with a student-teacher ratio of 14.5.
Recently, results have slipped. In 2025–2026 the school dropped to 3 stars and the 58th percentile — still above the district. Third grade ELA fell to 42.86%, below both the district (54.29%) and state (52.08%), and science dropped 26.19 points from 76.19% to 50.00%, now slightly below state and district. Fourth grade ELA (55.00%) was close to state but below district. With only 121 students across PK–4, small cohorts can swing percentages sharply, so families should read year-to-year changes with care.
