Summary:
The 53406 zip code area of Racine, Wisconsin is home to 4 schools that are part of the Racine Unified School District, including 3 elementary schools and 1 high school. While the district as a whole appears to be underperforming, with all schools ranking in the bottom half of their respective grade levels statewide, a few standout schools emerge from the data.
RUSD Montessori and Gifford School consistently outperform the district and state averages on standardized test scores, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, West Ridge Elementary lags significantly behind, despite having the highest percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-need student population.
The data also reveals wide disparities in other key metrics, such as chronic absenteeism rates, which range from 15.3% at Gifford School to 44.7% at Case High. Graduation rates at Case High (87.8%) are above the district average but still below the state average. These findings highlight the need for the Racine Unified School District to closely examine the factors contributing to the performance disparities between schools and implement targeted interventions to support struggling schools and students.
