Summary:
The 50468 zip code area is home to two schools - RRMR Elementary School and Rockford Junior-Senior High School, both part of the Rudd-Rockford-Marble Rk Community School District. While the elementary school struggles to meet state academic standards, the high school generally outperforms the state average, suggesting a significant performance gap between the two schools within the same district.
RRMR Elementary School, with 248 students, has a high free/reduced lunch rate of 57.26%, indicating a relatively low-income student population. The school performs below the state average on standardized tests, with some grades significantly underperforming. In contrast, the smaller Rockford Junior-Senior High School, with 174 students, has a lower free/reduced lunch rate of 48.28% and generally outperforms the state average on assessments, with some grades exceeding the state benchmark.
The data also reveals differences in resource allocation, with the high school spending $15,905 per student, compared to $13,669 per student at the elementary school. This disparity in spending may contribute to the observed performance gap, raising questions about equity and the distribution of educational opportunities within the district. Further analysis would be needed to understand the factors driving these differences and their impact on student outcomes.
