Summary:
The 54460 zip code area is home to three schools - Owen-Withee Elementary, Owen-Withee High, and Owen-Withee Junior High - all part of the Owen-Withee School District. While the elementary school shows some strong academic performance, the district as a whole is ranked 376 out of 426 in Wisconsin and rated 1 out of 5 stars, indicating overall underperformance compared to state averages.
Owen-Withee Elementary stands out with relatively high 4th and 5th grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, as well as strong 4th grade performance in Social Studies and Science. However, the school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% and lower 3rd grade proficiency in ELA and Math. In contrast, Owen-Withee High School maintains a strong 91% 4-year graduation rate, but its overall performance on 10th grade assessments lags behind the state averages. Owen-Withee Junior High demonstrates relatively strong 6th grade proficiency rates in ELA and Math, though they decline in the higher grades.
Across the district, the high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 57.25% to 58.72%, suggests a predominantly low-income student population, which could present unique challenges and resource needs. Additionally, the consistently high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% across all three schools is a significant concern that may be contributing to the overall academic underperformance in the district.
