Summary:
The 54013 zip code area is home to 3 schools in the Glenwood City School District: Glenwood City Elementary, Glenwood City High, and Glenwood City Middle. While the high school stands out as a strong performer, the elementary and middle schools in this district appear to be struggling in comparison.
Glenwood City High is the clear standout, consistently ranking among the top 25-90 high schools in Wisconsin and earning 4-5 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. The school boasts a 91.8% 4-year graduation rate, a low 1.0% dropout rate, and test scores that significantly outperform the state averages across all subject areas. In contrast, Glenwood City Elementary and Glenwood City Middle have lower state rankings and test scores that generally fall below the Wisconsin averages, with the elementary school also struggling with higher chronic absenteeism rates.
The disparities in performance between the high school and the lower grade schools within the same Glenwood City School District are noteworthy and may point to differences in resources, teaching quality, or other factors that contribute to the varying levels of student success. Additionally, the relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, especially at the elementary school, suggest a need to consider the impact of socioeconomic factors on student outcomes in this district.
