Summary:
ZIP code 54143 has four public schools serving about 1,914 students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, all within the Marinette School District in Wisconsin. The schools are Marinette High (grades 9–12, 618 students), Marinette Middle (grades 5–8, 534 students), Marinette Primary (grades PK–1, 390 students), and Marinette Intermediate (grades 2–4, 372 students). The district overall is rated low — 382 of 432, 12th percentile, 1 star — but performance differs from school to school.
Marinette Intermediate is the bright spot, with the highest latest rank at 645 of 1,039 (38th percentile, 2 stars), the only 2-star rating in the most recent data, and a steady rise from 18th to 34th to 38th percentile. It also has the group's lowest chronic absenteeism at 15.0%, below the state's 17.3% and the district's 22.9%, and its 4th grade Social Studies proficiency (69.35%) is above the state (65.51%). Marinette High is improving — from 7th to 27th percentile — and its 10th grade Social Studies score rose to 46.43%, close to the state's 48.25%, though ACT math, ELA, and science remain well below state, and its graduation rate is 89.3% versus the state's 92.0%. Marinette Middle faces the biggest challenges: chronic absenteeism of 32.7% (about 1.9× the state rate), a 3.8% dropout rate, and large gaps in 6th and 8th grade tests, though 7th grade results are close to state.
Resources and need vary too. Free/reduced lunch ranges from 46.12% to 52.69%, highest at the elementary schools. Marinette High spends the most per student ($15,201) while Marinette Primary spends the least ($12,991) and has the highest student-teacher ratio (20.8). Note that Primary has no test-score rows in this data and its latest rank is from 2021–2022, so those figures are descriptive rather than definitive.
