Summary:
Zip code 54913 contains three schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade: one elementary school, Freedom Elementary (PK–5, 691 students), and two high schools, North High (9–12, 1,635 students) and Fox Cities Leadership Academy (9–12, 78 students). There are no middle or alternative schools in the data, and total enrollment is 2,404. Two districts are represented: Appleton Area School District (North High and Fox Cities Leadership Academy) and Freedom Area School District (Freedom Elementary).
Two schools stand out. Fox Cities Leadership Academy ranks 23 of 533 (96th percentile, 5 stars) with a 100.0% graduation rate and 0.0% dropout rate, and its 10th-grade scores in social studies, ELA, math, and science are all far above district and state. It has only 78 students, so its rates can swing widely year to year, but the results are exceptional. It also has the zip's lowest per-student spending ($8,146) and highest student-teacher ratio (35.4). Freedom Elementary ranks 302 of 1,039 (71st percentile, 4 stars), with chronic absenteeism of 8.8%—about half the state's 17.3%—the lowest student-teacher ratio at 13.6, and every reported subject and grade above state averages, with math particularly strong.
North High is the largest school and has a more mixed profile: 60th percentile, 3 stars. Its chronic absenteeism of 22.5% is well above its district's 15.7% and the state's 17.3%, its dropout rate of 1.3% is above state, and its graduation rate of 91.4% is slightly below state. Its test scores are above district in all subjects and above state in ELA and science, essentially at state in math, but below state in social studies. Notably, Appleton Area School District ranks 253 of 432 (41st percentile, 2 stars), yet its two high schools here hold 3- and 5-star ratings—district rank alone does not capture individual school performance.
