Summary:

The 53235 zip code in Wisconsin is home to a single high school, Saint Francis High School, which serves grades 9-12. While the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Wisconsin high schools over the past 3 years, it maintains a graduation rate slightly below the state average and a dropout rate lower than the state average.

Saint Francis High School's performance on standardized tests, such as the Forward Exam and ACT, is significantly lower than the state averages across all subject areas, including social studies, English language arts, mathematics, and science. Additionally, the school has a higher chronic absenteeism rate compared to the state average. However, the school's per-student spending is slightly below the state average, and its student-teacher ratio is slightly higher than the state average.

Despite these challenges, the school's free/reduced lunch rate of 16.61% is lower than the state average, suggesting that the student population may come from a higher socioeconomic background. Further investigation may be needed to identify the root causes of the school's persistent underperformance and determine how to best support the students and address any resource allocation issues.
