Summary:
The 54157 zip code area is home to 3 schools spanning elementary, middle, and high school grades: Peshtigo Elementary, Peshtigo High, and Peshtigo Middle. While the Peshtigo School District as a whole faces some challenges, the data reveals several standout elements across these schools.
Peshtigo Elementary stands out as the strongest performer, with relatively high proficiency rates on the Forward Exam in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, exceeding state averages. In contrast, the high school and middle school performance is more mixed, with some grades and subjects meeting or exceeding state benchmarks while others fall behind. Peshtigo High School, however, boasts a strong 91.0% four-year graduation rate, a positive indicator compared to the state. Meanwhile, Peshtigo Middle School has shown improvement, moving from a 1-star to a 2-star statewide ranking over the past few years.
A common challenge across all three schools is the relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.7% to 17.7%. Additionally, the schools serve populations with moderate to high economic need, with free/reduced lunch rates between 31.4% and 40.57%. While spending per student and student-teacher ratios are reasonable, the district-level challenges suggest a need for a comprehensive strategy to drive progress across all schools in the 54157 zip code area.
