Summary:
The 54406 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 2 high schools (1 traditional and 1 charter), all part of the Tomorrow River School District except for the Central Sands Community High School, a public charter school. The standout schools in this area are Amherst Elementary and Amherst High, which demonstrate consistently high academic performance, low chronic absenteeism, and efficient resource allocation.
Amherst Elementary stands out with its students scoring well above the district and state averages on standardized tests, a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate, and a high student-teacher ratio, indicating smaller class sizes. Amherst High maintains an exceptionally high 4-year graduation rate of 94.9%, significantly above the state average, and a very low dropout rate of 0.0%, outperforming the state. The school also scores above the district and state on the ACT.
In contrast, the Central Sands Community High School, the charter high school in the area, has a much higher dropout rate of 10.0% compared to the 0.0% at Amherst High, which could indicate challenges in student engagement and support at the charter school. The schools in the 54406 zip code also serve student populations with varying socioeconomic backgrounds, as evidenced by the differences in free/reduced lunch rates.
