The 53965 zip code area is home to three schools - Spring Hill Elementary, Wisconsin Dells High, and Wisconsin Dells Middle School - all part of the Wisconsin Dells School District.

However, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.8%.

But the school faces a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.6%.

The district's spending per student is relatively consistent, but the schools' rankings have fluctuated in recent years, indicating opportunities for improvement. Overall, the data suggests that the Wisconsin Dells School District is performing reasonably well, but addressing chronic absenteeism and supporting students from disadvantaged backgrounds could be key focus areas for the district.
