Summary:
The 10 schools in zip code 54902 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin serve students from elementary through high school, with a mix of traditional public schools and a high-performing public charter middle school. The data reveals significant disparities in performance and resources across the schools, with the Accelerated Advanced Learning Program standing out as a standout outlier, while many of the traditional public schools struggle to meet state averages on key metrics.
The West High is the only high school in the data set and has a strong performance history, ranking in the top third of Wisconsin high schools in recent years. In contrast, schools with the highest percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, such as Jefferson Elementary and Roosevelt Elementary, tend to have lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates, suggesting that socioeconomic factors play a significant role in student outcomes.
The wide range in student-teacher ratios and spending per student across the schools indicates that resource allocation may be a contributing factor to the performance differences. The schools with the lowest student-teacher ratios and highest per-student spending, such as South Park Middle and Shapiro STEM Academy, generally have stronger academic results. Overall, the data highlights the need for a more equitable distribution of resources and support to ensure that all students in the Oshkosh Area School District have access to high-quality education.
