Summary:

The 52721 zip code area has only one elementary school, Bennett Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 and has a total enrollment of 86 students.

Bennett Elementary School's academic performance is mixed, with 5th-grade students outperforming the state average in English Language Arts and Science, but underperforming in Mathematics. The school's 4th-grade students also scored below the state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, the 6th-grade students achieved exceptional results in Mathematics, significantly exceeding the state average. The school's per-student spending is relatively high at $19,735, and it has a low student-teacher ratio of 7.7, suggesting access to significant resources. Notably, 43.02% of the school's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating potential socioeconomic challenges in the community.

While Bennett Elementary School has access to substantial resources, its academic performance is inconsistent across grade levels and subject areas. The school's highly homogeneous student population, with 94.19% of students identifying as White, may be an area for the Bennett Community School District to consider addressing. The district may also need to examine its curriculum, instruction, and support strategies to ensure more consistent academic achievement across all grade levels and subject areas.
