Summary:
The 53713 zip code area of Madison, Wisconsin is home to 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and no high schools or alternative schools. These schools are part of the Madison Metropolitan School District, except for One City Elementary School and One City Preparatory Academy, which are public charter schools under the One City Schools Inc district.
Among the standout schools in the area, Lincoln Elementary has the highest test scores across most subjects and grade levels, often exceeding the district and state averages. The public charter schools, One City Elementary and Badger Rock Middle, also show some strong performance metrics, particularly in English Language Arts, though their overall test scores are still below the district and state averages.
However, the data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance between the higher-performing and lower-performing schools, suggesting potential equity issues within the district. Additionally, the consistently high chronic absenteeism rate across all schools, ranging from 17.7%, is a concern and may be a contributing factor to the academic performance challenges. While per-student spending varies widely, from $15,747 at Leopold Elementary to $28,249 at One City Elementary, there does not appear to be a clear correlation between spending and academic outcomes.
