Summary:
The 54405 zip code in Wisconsin is home to two schools: Abbotsford Elementary and Abbotsford Middle/Senior High, both part of the Abbotsford School District. Based on the available data, these schools face significant academic challenges, with consistently low statewide rankings, test scores, and proficiency rates.
Neither Abbotsford Elementary nor Abbotsford Middle/Senior High are considered standout schools, as they both rank in the bottom 10-30% of Wisconsin schools according to SchoolDigger. Both schools struggle with low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, with Abbotsford Elementary's 3rd-grade proficiency rates in 2024-2025 being just 23.26% in ELA and 11.63% in Math, far below the state averages. Additionally, the schools have high chronic absenteeism rates, with 17.7% of students chronically absent in the 2023-2024 school year.
The data also reveals that the student populations at both Abbotsford Elementary and Abbotsford Middle/Senior High come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with free/reduced lunch rates of 75.12% and 69.08%, respectively. Despite the relatively high spending per student and lower student-teacher ratios, the schools continue to underperform, suggesting that factors beyond funding and resources, such as instructional quality, school climate, and community engagement, may be more significant drivers of the schools' challenges.
