Summary:
The 54656 zip code area is home to 7 schools in the Sparta Area School District, including 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools. While the district as a whole faces challenges, with test scores and rankings below state averages, a few standout schools shine within the area.
Innovations STEM Academy, a public charter middle school, consistently ranks among the top 25-170 middle schools in Wisconsin and has exceptional test scores, with 50-81% of students proficient or better in core subjects. In contrast, Sparta Alternative Independent Learning School, a public charter high school, has a 100% graduation rate but struggles with a high 31% chronic absenteeism rate.
The data reveals a wide range of performance across the schools, with Sparta Montessori School and Innovations STEM Academy standing out as high-performing options, while the traditional public schools face challenges in test scores and rankings. The high rates of free/reduced lunch eligibility across the district suggest socioeconomic factors may be playing a significant role in student outcomes, and further investigation into resource allocation and targeted support for economically disadvantaged students could be beneficial.
