Summary:

The 52159 zip code is home to two schools - MFL MarMac Elementary School and MFL MarMac High School, both part of the MFL MarMac Community School District. While the elementary school serves grades PK-3 and the high school serves grades 9-12, there are no middle schools or alternative schools in this zip code.

Both schools have performed relatively well on state assessments, with the elementary school exceeding the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics for 3rd grade students, and the high school outperforming the state in English Language Arts for 10th, 11th, and 9th grade students. However, the high school's Mathematics proficiency rates are slightly lower than the state average. Additionally, both schools face challenges with chronic absenteeism, with rates higher than the state's desired target of 10% or less.

Socioeconomic factors also play a role, as both schools have a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, around 32%. The high school also has a slightly lower 4-year graduation rate compared to the state's goal of 95% or higher. Despite these challenges, the schools maintain a relatively low student-teacher ratio, with the elementary school at 13.8 and the high school at 15.4. Overall, the data suggests opportunities for the schools to collaborate and address common issues to improve educational outcomes for the community.
