Summary:
The 54556 zip code area is home to 3 schools spanning different grade levels: Prentice Elementary, Prentice High, and Prentice Middle. While the schools face some common challenges, such as high rates of economic disadvantage and chronic absenteeism, Prentice School District also has a standout performer in Prentice Middle School.
Prentice Middle School stands out as the highest-performing school in the area, ranking 288 out of 628 Wisconsin middle schools and maintaining a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's 8th-grade students demonstrate strong proficiency in core subjects, with 60.87% proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics, and even higher rates in Social Studies (69.57%) and Science (78.26%). In contrast, Prentice Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and lags behind the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency for 3rd and 4th graders.
Prentice High School also has some bright spots, with a respectable 91% four-year graduation rate and a relatively low dropout rate of 1.3%. However, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science for 10th graders are below the state averages. The district as a whole faces socioeconomic challenges, with high percentages of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across all three schools, which may be contributing to the academic performance and attendance issues observed.
