Schools in Zip Code 54177

The 54177 zip code area is home to three schools - Wausaukee Elementary, Wausaukee High, and Wausaukee Middle - that collectively serve students from elementary through high school. However, the data indicates that these schools are consistently underperforming compared to state-wide benchmarks, with no clear standout performers in the area.

All three schools in the 54177 zip code area are ranked in the bottom quarter of their respective grade levels in Wisconsin, with low proficiency rates on state assessments, particularly in math. Additionally, the schools have high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.7% to 17.7%, well above the state average. The data also shows that the schools serve a population with significant economic challenges, with 44.8% to 55.78% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

While the schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 11:1 to 12.5:1, this does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes. The differences in per-student spending between the schools also do not appear to directly impact their performance, as the higher-spending Wausaukee High still performs below state averages. Addressing the systemic challenges faced by these schools in the Wausaukee School District will likely require a comprehensive approach involving targeted interventions, community engagement, and a focus on improving the overall educational environment for students.
