Summary:

The 52159 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, MFL MarMac Elementary School, which serves students from the MFL MarMac Community School District. Despite having only one school in the data set, the available information provides valuable insights into the school's performance and characteristics.

MFL MarMac Elementary has demonstrated strong academic achievement, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics that generally exceed the state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school and district reported a 76.5% proficiency rate in both subjects for 3rd-grade students, outperforming the state's 67.9% in ELA and 75.8% in Math. The school's performance has been consistent, with 3rd-grade students also achieving high proficiency rates in the 2023-2024 school year.

While the school's academic performance is commendable, it faces a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6%, which is higher than the state would like to see. Additionally, the school serves a diverse student population, with 32.29% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's significant investment in its students, with a spending of $12,542 per student and a student-teacher ratio of 13.8, may contribute to its strong academic outcomes. Overall, MFL MarMac Elementary appears to be a high-performing school that is providing a quality education to its students, but the school may need to address the chronic absenteeism issue to ensure all students have the opportunity to reach their full potential.
