Summary:
The 52353 zip code area is home to 4 schools in the Washington Community School District, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the district faces some challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism and economic disadvantages among the student population, a few schools stand out for their strong academic performance.
Washington Middle School is the top performer, with 81% of 8th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and 71% proficient or better in Mathematics, significantly higher than the district and state averages. Lincoln Upper Elementary School also shows promising results, with 70.3% of 4th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and 72.5% of 5th graders proficient or better in Mathematics.
However, the district as a whole performs significantly below the state averages on state assessments, with proficiency rates often 10-20 percentage points lower. Additionally, the high school and middle school have seen their statewide rankings decline over the past few years, indicating a potential trend of declining performance relative to other schools in the state. The high rates of free/reduced lunch eligibility suggest that the schools serve a student population with significant economic disadvantages, which can present additional challenges for academic achievement.
