Summary:
The 54970 zip code has only one school, Redgranite Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 120 students. The school is part of the Wautoma Area School District, which is ranked 356 out of 426 school districts in Wisconsin and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Redgranite Elementary's academic performance on the Forward Exam is consistently below the Wautoma Area School District and Wisconsin state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. In 2024-2025, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 13.33% to 60%, compared to the district averages of 41.86% to 56.63% and the state averages of 51.26% to 52.21%. Similarly, the percentage of students proficient or better in Mathematics ranged from 13.33% to 45%, compared to the district averages of 39.53% to 50% and the state averages of 52.58% to 55%. The school also had a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% in 2023-2024, which is concerning and likely impacting student learning and achievement.
The school serves a significant population of students from low-income families, with 64.17% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. While the school's per-student spending of $14,438 in 2020-2021 is higher than the national average, it may not be sufficient to address the unique challenges faced by the student population. The district and school should evaluate the allocation of resources to ensure they are effectively supporting student learning and addressing the socioeconomic factors that may be contributing to the school's academic struggles.
