Summary:
The 53114 zip code in Wisconsin is home to a single elementary school, Darien Elementary, which serves students from the Delavan-Darien School District. This school faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance and high poverty levels among its student population.
Darien Elementary consistently underperforms the state average on standardized tests, with only around 40-45% of 3rd and 4th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 52-55%. The school's performance on the Social Studies and Science portions of the Forward Exam is also below the state average. Despite spending $15,066 per student, which is higher than the state average, the school's academic outcomes remain poor, suggesting that the resources may not be effectively allocated to support student learning.
Another concern is the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%, which may be a contributing factor to the low academic performance. Additionally, Darien Elementary has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 73.64%, indicating that the student population faces significant socioeconomic challenges. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.2 to 1, this does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for the students.
