Summary:
The 54128 zip code is home to two schools, Gresham Elementary and Gresham High, both of which serve the Gresham School District. Unfortunately, these schools have consistently low rankings and performance metrics compared to state averages, indicating significant challenges that the district may need to address.
Gresham Elementary is ranked 711 out of 1,061 Wisconsin elementary schools and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, while Gresham High is ranked 370 out of 431 Wisconsin high schools and has a 1-star rating. Both schools have consistently low rankings over the past few years, and their students generally perform below the state average in proficiency on the Forward Exam and ACT assessments. For example, in 2023-2024, Gresham Elementary's 3rd-grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts (36%) and Mathematics (48%) were significantly lower than the state averages (52.07% and 56.58%, respectively), and Gresham High's 10th-grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts (20%) and Mathematics (26.67%) were also well below the state averages (45.65% and 29.44%, respectively).
The data also reveals that both Gresham Elementary and Gresham High have high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 54.3% and 64.43%, respectively, indicating a high-need student population. Additionally, Gresham High has a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 82.3% and a 0% dropout rate, which is a positive sign, but the district may want to investigate the factors contributing to this and explore ways to improve academic performance alongside the high graduation rate.
