Summary:
The 54155 zip code area is home to two schools: Oneida Nation School, an alternative school serving grades K-12, and Hillcrest Elementary, a public elementary school serving grades PK-5. These schools have distinct student demographics, academic performance, and funding characteristics that provide a nuanced view of the educational landscape in this area.
Oneida Nation School stands out as the only alternative school in the data set, serving a student population that is 100% Native American. This school has a very high free/reduced lunch rate of 99.29%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among its students. In contrast, Hillcrest Elementary has a relatively diverse student body, with 78.63% White, 6.36% Native American, and smaller percentages of other racial/ethnic groups. Academically, Hillcrest Elementary performs above the Pulaski Community School District and Wisconsin state averages in several subject areas on the Forward Exam, particularly in 4th and 5th grade.
The significant difference in free/reduced lunch rates between the two schools (99.29% at Oneida Nation School vs. 21.12% at Hillcrest Elementary) underscores the economic disparities within the 54155 zip code area. Additionally, the lower student-teacher ratio at Oneida Nation School (13.2) compared to Hillcrest Elementary (16.1) may contribute to the school's ability to provide more individualized attention and support to its students.
