However, the schools in the 53821 zip code area face some challenges, including a consistently high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% across all schools and a relatively high proportion of students from low-income families, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 44.59% to 57.14%. Additionally, there is significant variation in spending per student, from $5,168 to $16,780, which raises questions about the equity of resource distribution within the district.
