Summary:

ZIP code 62889 has one elementary school, Field Elementary School, serving prekindergarten through grade 8 and enrolling 233 students. In 2025–26, its all-grades English language arts proficiency was 48%, compared with 56% statewide, and its math proficiency was 28%, compared with 40% statewide. The most important takeaway is that Field was below the state in both subjects, with a larger shortfall in math: 11 percentage points, versus 8 points in ELA.

Because this list contains only one school, it cannot show how schools compare with one another. Within Field’s grade-level results, grade 8 ELA stands out on the high side: 71% were proficient, 8 points above the state rate. Grade 4 ELA is the clearest weak spot, at 35%, or 21 points below the state. Grade 5 science was essentially at the state level in 2025–26: 47.8% at Field versus 47.5% statewide, a 0.3-point advantage. These differences show that results vary by grade and subject, rather than presenting one uniform picture of the school.

Results changed unevenly over time: all-grades ELA rose from 47% in 2024–25 to 48% in 2025–26, but its gap below the state widened from 6 to 8 points; math fell from 31% to 28%, and its gap widened from 8 to 11 points. Grade 5 science improved markedly, from 29% in 2024–25 to 47.8% in 2025–26, moving from 11 points below the state to 0.3 points above. SchoolDigger ranked Field at 1,124 of 1,737 schools in 2025–26, at the 35th percentile with two stars, down from the 46th percentile and two stars the year before. Other context: its 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 10.4:1, and 37% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25; chronic absenteeism was 17% in 2025–26, below the statewide 24%.
