Summary:
The 53704 zip code area in Madison, Wisconsin is home to two high schools: East High and Shabazz-City High, both part of the Madison Metropolitan School District. While East High is the larger of the two schools, with 1,644 students, Shabazz-City High stands out as the higher-performing institution based on several key metrics.
Shabazz-City High outperforms East High in statewide rankings, with a 227 ranking out of 431 Wisconsin high schools compared to East High's 358 ranking. Shabazz-City High also has a higher 2-star rating from School Digger, while East High has a 1-star rating. Additionally, Shabazz-City High students demonstrate higher proficiency rates in all subject areas, including Social Studies, English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, for the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 school years.
Despite the significant difference in enrollment, Shabazz-City High spends $23,155 per student, significantly more than the $13,938 spent per student at East High. This higher spending may contribute to Shabazz-City High's smaller student-teacher ratio of 7.7, compared to East High's ratio of 15.1. Both schools, however, share the same 91.0% four-year graduation rate and 1.3% dropout rate for the 2023-2024 school year, as well as the same 17.7% chronic absenteeism rate, indicating that these are challenges faced by the district as a whole.
