Summary:
The 56343 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, West Central Area S. Elementary, which serves grades PK-4 with a student population of 130. While the school has shown some strengths in Math proficiency, its overall academic performance has declined in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 348 out of 858 schools in 2021-2022 to 583 out of 881 schools in 2023-2024.
West Central Area S. Elementary has a predominantly White student population (88.46%), with relatively low representation of other racial and ethnic groups. The school also serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with a free/reduced lunch rate of 43.85%. This suggests that the school may face unique challenges in supporting the academic and social-emotional needs of its diverse student body.
Despite its challenges, West Central Area S. Elementary maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.3 to 1, which could be an asset in providing personalized attention to students. However, the school's leadership and West Central Area district will need to continuously evaluate and refine their instructional practices to ensure consistent and equitable student outcomes across all grade levels and subject areas.
