Summary:
The 54982 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Wautoma Area School District. Among these schools, Parkside School stands out as the highest-performing, ranking 283 out of 640 Wisconsin middle schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Parkside consistently outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics on the Forward Exam.
Wautoma High School also has a strong 91% four-year graduation rate, higher than the state average. However, its academic performance on the ACT is more mixed, with some subjects above and some below the state averages. In contrast, Riverview Elementary has a more varied performance, with 3rd-grade Forward Exam results that are both above and below the district and state averages.
Across all three schools, there are some common challenges, including high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 54% at Wautoma High to 64.65% at Riverview Elementary. Additionally, the schools have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, around 17.7% for each school. These socioeconomic factors may be impacting student outcomes in the district, which is ranked 356 out of 426 districts in Wisconsin and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. While Parkside School stands out as a bright spot, the Wautoma Area School District as a whole faces opportunities for improvement to support student success across all its schools.
