The data reveals significant variation in school performance across the 83440 zip code area, with a clear correlation between socioeconomic factors and academic achievement. Schools with higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, such as Kennedy Elementary and Central High School, tend to have lower test scores and graduation rates. Additionally, several schools, particularly the elementary schools, face challenges with high rates of chronic absenteeism, which can negatively impact student learning. By identifying and replicating the strategies used by the top-performing schools, the Madison District can work to address these issues and ensure that all students in the 83440 zip code area have access to a high-quality education.
