Summary:
The 53705 zip code area of Madison, Wisconsin is home to 5 elementary schools that are part of the Madison Metropolitan School District. These schools serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade and demonstrate a wide range of academic performance and student demographics.
Two schools stand out as high-performing: Shorewood Hills Elementary and Van Hise Elementary. Both schools are ranked among the top 50 elementary schools in Wisconsin and have a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Crestwood Elementary, Muir Elementary, and Stephens Elementary demonstrate lower academic performance, with test scores below the district and state averages.
The data also reveals significant differences in student demographics and resource allocation across the schools. Free and reduced lunch rates range from 12.3% at Shorewood Hills to 46.17% at Muir, and spending per student varies from $13,664 at Van Hise to $17,154 at Crestwood. Additionally, all 5 schools share a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%, which may be an area of focus for the district. These disparities suggest that factors beyond just funding and resources may be contributing to the performance gaps between the top-performing and lower-performing schools in the 53705 zip code area.
