Summary:
The 49252 zip code is home to two schools, Litchfield High School and Litchfield Elementary School, both part of the Litchfield Community Schools district. Unfortunately, the data indicates that these schools are consistently underperforming compared to state averages across a range of academic metrics.
Both Litchfield High School and Litchfield Elementary School have significantly lower proficiency rates in M-Step/ELA, M-Step/Math, M-Step/Science, and M-Step/Social Studies than the state averages, ranging from 15% to 31.3% proficient. Additionally, the schools have low four-year graduation rates and high dropout rates, with Litchfield High School having a 72.2% graduation rate and a 16.6% dropout rate.
Despite higher-than-average spending per student and relatively small student-teacher ratios, the schools continue to struggle with academic performance. This suggests that the challenges these schools face may be more systemic, potentially related to the high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, as indicated by the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility. Addressing these underlying issues will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve outcomes for the students in the 49252 zip code.
