Summary:
ZIP code 53115 has exactly one elementary school, Turtle Creek Elementary, serving grades PK–2 in Delavan, Wisconsin, as part of Delavan-Darien School District. Because it is the only elementary school in the ZIP, there are no local peer schools to compare it with; comparisons must be to its district or to Wisconsin statewide figures.
The school enrolls 371 students and serves an early-grade population only. It has a high free/reduced-price lunch rate of 65.77%, meaning about 244 of 371 students are economically disadvantaged. Its student-teacher ratio is low at 10.1 students per teacher, implying roughly 37 teachers, and per-student spending is $19,882, or about $7.38 million total for 371 students. Chronic absenteeism is 14.2%, which is 3.1 percentage points below Wisconsin’s 17.3% rate but 1.1 percentage points above its district’s 13.1% rate. Attendance is therefore a relative bright spot compared with the state, though not the strongest result within its own district.
Academic ranking context is challenging. Its district is ranked 412th of 432 in Wisconsin, in the 5th percentile with 0 stars. The school’s historical ranks were also low: in 2018–19 it was 873 of 1037, in the 16th percentile with 1 star; in 2015–16 it was 955 of 1075, in the 11th percentile with 1 star; and in 2014–15 it was 914 of 1076, in the 15th percentile with 1 star. There was slight improvement from 2015–16 to 2018–19, but the school remained in the bottom 16%. Because the school now serves only PK–2, and state accountability rankings usually begin in grade 3, there is no current school-level rank. No values are privacy-suppressed in this record, but there is no recent school rank after 2018–19 and no state or district benchmarks for per-student spending or student-teacher ratio. Overall, this is a high-poverty early-grade school with notable resource inputs; its academic picture is incomplete, but its available ranking history and district rank point to performance challenges.
