Summary:

Among the standout schools, Brodhead Middle School ranks 351 out of 628 Wisconsin middle schools and has a 3-star rating. It performs relatively well on state assessments, with 7th grade English Language Arts proficiency at 59.32% and 8th grade Social Studies proficiency at 61.97%. Brodhead High School also stands out, with a high 4-year graduation rate of 91.0% and a low dropout rate of 1.3%.
However, the schools in the 53520 zip code area face some challenges. All three schools have a chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the elementary and middle schools generally perform below the state averages on the Forward Exam, with some exceptions. The high free/reduced lunch rates, especially at the elementary school, suggest that the schools serve a population with lower socioeconomic status, which can impact academic performance. The district and its schools have opportunities for improvement, such as raising test scores and addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates.
