Summary:
The 54494 zip code area of Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin is home to 9 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 2 high schools, and no middle schools or alternative schools, all part of the Wisconsin Rapids School District. While the district as a whole is ranked 333 out of 426 in the state with a 1-star rating, a few standout schools emerge, including Grant Elementary and Howe Elementary, which outperform the district and state averages on standardized tests.
The two high schools, Lincoln High and River Cities High, both have impressive 91% 4-year graduation rates and low dropout rates of 1.3%. However, chronic absenteeism is a concern across all schools, with rates around 17.7%, well above the state average. Socioeconomic diversity is also evident, with free/reduced lunch eligibility ranging from 33.83% at Grant Elementary to 76.32% at River Cities High.
The data reveals significant performance gaps between the highest and lowest performing schools, suggesting unequal access to resources and opportunities for students. Additionally, the wide range in per-student spending, from $6,130 at Central Oaks Academy to $16,642 at Grove Elementary, indicates potential inequities in resource allocation across the district's schools.
