Summary:
The 54950 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Marion Elementary, which serves grades PK-6 and has a total enrollment of 236 students. The school is part of the Marion School District, which is ranked 319 out of 426 school districts in Wisconsin and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Marion Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, going from 627 out of 1,044 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 740 out of 1,067 in 2022-2023. Its academic performance, as measured by the Forward Exam, is mixed compared to state averages, with the school performing above the state average in some subject areas and grade levels, but below in others. The school also has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 50.42%.
Despite these challenges, Marion Elementary has some strengths, including a low student-teacher ratio of 11.6 and above-average performance in Social Studies and Science compared to the state. However, the school's overall performance and declining statewide ranking suggest that the district and community may need to focus on addressing the unique needs of the student population and implementing targeted strategies to improve academic outcomes.
