Summary:

The city of Greenfield, Wisconsin is home to 9 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools, spread across two school districts - the Greenfield School District and the Whitnall School District. The data reveals a significant performance gap between the two districts, with the Whitnall schools, such as Whitnall High School and Whitnall Middle School, consistently outperforming the Greenfield schools across various metrics, including test scores, rankings, and student demographics.

Among the standout schools, Whitnall High School and Whitnall Middle School have maintained top rankings in the state, with strong test scores, high graduation rates, and relatively low dropout and chronic absenteeism rates. Within the Greenfield School District, Edgewood Elementary stands out as the highest-performing elementary school, with consistently strong test scores, particularly in math.

The data also reveals challenges within the Greenfield School District, where the elementary and middle schools struggle with lower test scores, higher chronic absenteeism, and higher rates of students receiving free/reduced lunch, indicating potential socioeconomic and resource challenges that may be impacting student outcomes. The presence of the Core4 charter school within the Whitnall School District suggests that families in Greenfield may be seeking alternative educational options, potentially due to dissatisfaction with the performance of the traditional public schools in the Greenfield School District.
