Summary:

The 54554 zip code is home to a single high school, Phelps High, which serves a relatively small student population of just 25 students. Despite its small size, Phelps High demonstrates strong academic performance, with a high four-year graduation rate of 91.0% and impressive 10th-grade Social Studies test scores that exceed the state average.

However, the school also faces some challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% and a significant percentage (48%) of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Phelps High's overall ranking within the state (349 out of 426 districts) suggests there may be room for improvement compared to other Wisconsin high schools, though the school's small size and individualized attention (with a low 5.9:1 student-teacher ratio) could be contributing factors to its academic success.

While there are no other high schools located within the 54554 zip code to directly compare Phelps High to, the data provides a detailed snapshot of this small but high-performing school serving a population with significant economic challenges. The school's strengths, such as strong graduation rates and test scores, are balanced by areas of concern, such as high chronic absenteeism, which the Phelps School District may need to address to ensure continued student success.
