Summary:
The 53587 zip code area is home to three schools in the Black Hawk School District, including one elementary school, one middle school, and one high school. While the schools serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, the data reveals a mixed picture of academic performance and student outcomes across the district.
Black Hawk Elementary stands out as a strong performer, consistently ranking in the top 25% of Wisconsin elementary schools and demonstrating above-average student achievement in core academic areas. In contrast, Black Hawk Middle and Black Hawk High face more challenges, with academic performance below the state average in certain subjects and higher dropout rates that warrant attention.
Across the district, the schools serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 38% to 52%. While the student-teacher ratios are relatively low, the chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% is higher than the state average, indicating a need for targeted interventions to address attendance and engagement. Overall, the data suggests that while Black Hawk Elementary is a standout performer, the district as a whole could benefit from a closer examination of resource allocation and support to ensure equitable outcomes for all students.
