Summary:
The 54212 zip code area is home to 3 schools that collectively serve students from elementary through high school: Gibraltar Elementary, Gibraltar High, and Gibraltar Middle. These schools are part of the Gibraltar Area School District and demonstrate a strong overall performance, with the elementary and high school standing out as exceptional educational institutions.
Gibraltar Elementary is the clear standout, ranking in the top 5% of Wisconsin elementary schools and boasting exceptional test scores, with 80-92% of students proficient or better in core subjects. Gibraltar High also performs exceptionally well, ranking in the top 5% of Wisconsin high schools with a 91% 4-year graduation rate and low 1.3% dropout rate. In contrast, Gibraltar Middle has more average performance, ranking in the middle 50% of Wisconsin middle schools, though it still maintains some strong test scores.
Across the district, the schools serve a relatively high-need student population, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 29.7% at the elementary level to 38.4% at the middle school. However, the district's ability to achieve outstanding academic results despite these challenges is commendable. The district may benefit from continued focus on addressing attendance issues, as all three schools have a consistent 17.7% chronic absenteeism rate, and examining resource allocation, particularly at the middle school level where spending per student is lower.
