Summary:
The zip code 54901 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin is home to 8 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Oshkosh Area School District. While the district is ranked 337 out of 426 in Wisconsin and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, a few schools in the area stand out.
Webster Stanley Elementary and Washington Elementary have the strongest academic performance, with over 50% and 40% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics, respectively. These schools also have relatively low student-teacher ratios. In contrast, North High, the only high school in the data set, has a 91% four-year graduation rate, which is higher than the district and state averages, but its test scores are below the district and state averages.
The schools in this area face significant challenges, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 55.39% at North High to 80.08% at Merrill Elementary. Additionally, all schools in the data set have a 17.7% chronic absenteeism rate, which is significantly higher than the state average. These socioeconomic factors may be impacting student outcomes, and the data suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving performance across the board.
