Summary:
The 54446 zip code area is home to 3 schools serving grades K-12: Loyal Elementary, Loyal High, and Loyal Middle School, all part of the Loyal School District. While the middle school stands out as the highest performer, the data reveals both areas of strength and concern across the district.
Loyal Middle School appears to be the standout, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and stronger test scores compared to district and state averages. In contrast, Loyal High has struggled, maintaining a 1-star rating and posting test scores well below state averages, particularly in math and science. Loyal Elementary has seen improvements, moving from a 1-star to a 2-star rating, suggesting progress despite still being below state performance levels.
Across the district, high rates of free/reduced lunch and chronic absenteeism point to broader socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting student learning. While per-student spending is consistent, the varying performance outcomes indicate that simply spending more may not be the sole solution. Examining how resources are being utilized and targeted to specific student needs could provide valuable insights to improve outcomes for all students in the Loyal School District.
