Best Public Schools in Zip Code 51560


Summary:

The 51560 zip code area is home to two schools - Riverside Middle/Senior High School and Oakland Elementary, both part of the Riverside Community School District. While the high school consistently outperforms state averages in academic assessments, the elementary school faces higher rates of economically disadvantaged students and lower per-student spending.

Riverside Middle/Senior High School stands out for its strong academic performance, with students scoring well above the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science on the ISASP assessments. The school also has a relatively low free/reduced lunch rate of 35.65%, indicating a lower proportion of economically disadvantaged students compared to the elementary school. However, Oakland Elementary has a higher free/reduced lunch rate of 46.28%, suggesting more students from low-income families, and a lower spending per student at $13,452 compared to the high school's $14,392.

The data reveals a potential disparity in resource allocation and student support between the two schools. While Riverside Middle/Senior High School enjoys higher spending and a larger student-teacher ratio, Oakland Elementary has a smaller student-teacher ratio of 12.8, potentially indicating more individualized attention for younger students. This highlights the importance of ensuring equitable distribution of resources across the district to support the needs of all students, regardless of their socioeconomic background.
