Summary:
The 54241 zip code area is home to two elementary schools - Magee Elementary and Koenig Elementary - both part of the Two Rivers Public School District. While Magee Elementary appears to be the stronger performing school, with higher proficiency rates across most subjects, Koenig Elementary struggles with significantly lower academic achievement, particularly in math and English language arts.
Magee Elementary has a 2-3 star SchoolDigger rating and outperforms Koenig Elementary and the district/state averages in most areas. In contrast, Koenig Elementary is rated 1 star and has concerning proficiency rates, with only 18-22% of 4th graders proficient in core subjects. Both schools, however, face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, around 17.7%, which is notably higher than the state average.
The data also reveals notable differences in student demographics and resource allocation between the two schools. Koenig Elementary serves a much more economically disadvantaged population, with 72.59% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch, compared to 38.89% at Magee. Despite Koenig spending more per student, this does not translate into better academic performance, suggesting the need to examine how resources are utilized. Overall, the Two Rivers Public School District appears to be underperforming, with both schools ranking in the bottom half of Wisconsin elementary schools, indicating a need for district-wide improvements.
