Summary:
The 49968 zip code is home to a single public alternative school, WakefieldMarenisco School, which serves grades PK-12 with 257 students. While the school has a relatively high spending per student of $15,371, its academic performance across various subjects and grade levels is consistently below the state averages, indicating potential challenges in student achievement.
The school faces high rates of chronic absenteeism, with 29.5% of students being chronically absent, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a four-year graduation rate of 82.8%, which is below the state average, and a dropout rate of 7.6%, which is higher than the state average. These factors suggest that the school may need to implement targeted interventions to address attendance and retention issues.
The Wakefield-Marenisco School District serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 56.42% for the WakefieldMarenisco School. This socioeconomic factor may be contributing to the school's academic performance and could require additional resources and support to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
