Summary:
The 54486 zip code is home to two small schools, Tigerton High and Tigerton Elementary, both of which have consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of their respective school types in Wisconsin. Despite their small enrollments, these schools face significant challenges, including low academic performance, high rates of economic disadvantage, and persistent struggles to improve student outcomes.
Tigerton High serves grades 6-12 and has a 100% four-year graduation rate, which is commendable. However, its academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in core subjects, falls well below state averages. In contrast, Tigerton Elementary has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, which may contribute to its own low academic performance. Both schools have a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic challenges in the local community.
The Tigerton School District appears to be allocating significant resources to these schools, with per-student spending higher than the state average. However, the persistent low performance suggests that the district may need to re-evaluate its strategies and resource allocation to better support the needs of these schools and their students.
