Summary:

The 57032 zip code area is home to two elementary schools - Liberty Elementary - 02 and Freedom Elementary - 06. Based on the available data, Liberty Elementary - 02 appears to be the higher-performing school overall, consistently ranking higher in the statewide SchoolDigger rankings and outperforming Freedom Elementary - 06 on most academic measures, including higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

Liberty Elementary - 02 has a student enrollment of 532 and a student-teacher ratio of 14:1, while Freedom Elementary - 06 has 402 students and a ratio of 12.8:1. Interestingly, Freedom Elementary - 06 has a higher spending per student ($11,132) compared to Liberty Elementary - 02 ($10,198), but this does not translate into better academic outcomes. Both schools have a similar chronic absenteeism rate of 20.2%.

The data suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as school leadership, teacher quality, and instructional practices, may play a more significant role in driving student achievement. Additionally, the demographic differences, with Freedom Elementary - 06 having a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students, could be a contributing factor to the performance gap between the two schools. Targeted interventions and support for these students may be necessary to help close the achievement disparity.
