Summary:

The 51640 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Hamburg Community School District. While some schools, like Marnie Simons Elementary School, demonstrate strong academic performance, the district as a whole faces challenges related to student demographics and resource allocation.

Marnie Simons Elementary School stands out, performing above the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency for grades 3-5 and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated, dropping from 121 to 378 over the past 3 years, suggesting factors beyond just test scores may be influencing its performance. In contrast, Hamburg Charter High Schools maintains a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 88.3% but struggles with Mathematics and Science proficiency, scoring well below the state average.

Across the district, all three schools have high percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 56% to 74.36%, indicating a significant population of students from low-income families. Additionally, the schools face high chronic absenteeism rates, from 21.6% to 21.6%, which may be linked to socioeconomic factors and the challenges faced by these communities. Addressing these issues could be crucial for improving educational outcomes in the 51640 zip code area.
