Summary:
The 50597 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the West Bend-Mallard Community School District. While the schools have demonstrated some academic strengths, they also face challenges related to equity and consistency in performance.
West Bend-Mallard Elementary School stands out with consistently high test scores, outperforming the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined from 5 stars to 2 stars in recent years. In contrast, West Bend-Mallard High School has impressive 10th grade performance, with 85.3% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Science, significantly exceeding state averages. The high school also maintains a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 88.3%.
Across the district, the schools face challenges related to high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.6% to 21.6%, and a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 42.39% to 52.34%. The variation in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios across the schools suggests uneven resource allocation within the district, which may contribute to the inconsistent performance observed.
