Summary:
The 54467 zip code area is home to two elementary schools - Roosevelt Elementary and Plover-Whiting Elementary - both part of the Stevens Point Area Public School District. While the schools share some similarities, they also exhibit distinct differences in their academic performance and other key metrics.
Plover-Whiting Elementary has shown consistent improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from a 1-star to a 2-star rating by SchoolDigger. This suggests the school is making progress and heading in the right direction. Both schools have relatively high proficiency rates in certain subject areas, such as 6th grade math at Roosevelt Elementary (78.26% proficient) and 4th grade social studies at Plover-Whiting Elementary (66.67% proficient), which are strong academic performances compared to the district and state averages.
However, both schools face challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates (17.7%) that are higher than the state average. Additionally, there are socioeconomic disparities within the district, as Roosevelt Elementary has a higher percentage of students receiving free/reduced lunch (46.63%) compared to Plover-Whiting Elementary (39.43%). The district may also want to consider the impact of resource allocation, as Plover-Whiting Elementary has a slightly higher spending per student and a lower student-teacher ratio, which could contribute to its improved performance.
