Summary:
The 54612 zip code area is home to three schools - Arcadia Elementary, Arcadia High, and Arcadia Middle - that collectively serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. However, the data paints a concerning picture, as none of these schools appear to be standouts in terms of academic performance.
Across the board, the Arcadia schools are underperforming compared to state benchmarks. Arcadia Elementary ranks in the bottom 20% of Wisconsin elementary schools, with low proficiency rates in English Language Arts. Arcadia High fares even worse, ranking in the bottom 10% of high schools statewide and also struggling with low proficiency. While Arcadia Middle performs slightly better than the other two, it still falls in the bottom 40% of Wisconsin middle schools.
The challenges faced by these schools are multifaceted, with high rates of chronic absenteeism, especially at Arcadia High, and a large proportion of economically disadvantaged students across all three campuses. Despite relatively favorable student-teacher ratios and high per-student spending, the Arcadia School District as a whole is ranked 398 out of 428 districts in Wisconsin, indicating systemic issues that require a comprehensive, district-wide approach to address.
