Summary:
The 53716 zip code area is home to 8 schools spanning elementary, middle, and high school grades, spread across two school districts - the Madison Metropolitan School District and the Monona Grove School District. The data reveals a diverse set of schools, with the Monona Grove schools generally outperforming the Madison schools in terms of test scores, graduation rates, and overall rankings.
The standout schools in the area include Winnequah School, a top-performing elementary school in the Monona Grove district, and Monona Grove High, the highest-ranked high school in the data set. In contrast, the Madison schools, such as LaFollette High and Sennett Middle, tend to have lower test scores and rankings. The data suggests a correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, as the schools with the highest free/reduced lunch rates also tend to have the lowest test scores and rankings.
Chronic absenteeism is a concern across all the schools, with rates significantly higher than the state average. This issue, along with the disparities in performance between the Monona Grove and Madison schools, highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to ensure all students in the 53716 zip code have access to a high-quality education.
