Summary:
The 53527 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools (Granite Ridge School, Cottage Grove Elementary, and Taylor Prairie Elementary) and 1 middle school (Glacial Drumlin School), all part of the Monona Grove School District.
Among the standout schools in the area, Glacial Drumlin School consistently outperforms the state and district averages in all tested subjects and grade levels, with the highest proficiency rates in Mathematics (65% for 6th grade) and English Language Arts (63.08% for 6th grade). The school also boasts a lower dropout rate (1.3%) and relatively low chronic absenteeism rate (17.7%) compared to the other schools. Similarly, Granite Ridge School demonstrates strong academic performance, with 3rd-5th grade students exceeding the state and district averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics, as well as high proficiency rates in Social Studies and Science for 4th grade students.
While the schools in the 53527 zip code area generally perform well, with adequate resources as evidenced by the low student-teacher ratios, the relatively high free and reduced-price lunch rates (20-22%) across all schools suggest that a significant portion of the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Further analysis may be needed to ensure that the schools are effectively supporting the needs of all students, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, and addressing any potential equity concerns.
