Summary:
The 49968 zip code is home to a single public school, WakefieldMarenisco School, which serves grades PK-12 and has a total enrollment of 252 students. This alternative school is part of the Wakefield-Marenisco School District and has a predominantly white student population, with 92.86% of students identifying as white.
While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.1, its academic performance on state assessments and college readiness exams is significantly lower than the state and district averages across multiple subject areas and grade levels. The school's 4-year graduation rate is 82.6%, and its dropout rate is 13.0%, which are important indicators of student success and engagement. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 26.8%, which may be contributing to the lower academic achievement.
The school's high percentage of students (54.37%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests that the student population faces significant socioeconomic challenges, which could be a factor in the school's academic struggles. Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student of $15,194, the data indicates that the WakefieldMarenisco School is not providing a high-quality education to its students, and targeted interventions and support may be necessary to improve student outcomes.
