The 54732 zip code area is home to three schools - Cornell Elementary, Cornell High, and Cornell Middle - all part of the Cornell School District. While the district as a whole is ranked 257 out of 428 districts in Wisconsin, Cornell Elementary stands out as an exceptional performer, ranking in the top 16% of Wisconsin elementary schools.
Cornell Elementary boasts consistently high test scores, with 60-70% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 70-87% proficient or better in Mathematics across grades 3-5. The school also maintains a very low chronic absenteeism rate of 0.0%, compared to the state average of 15-20%. Additionally, Cornell Elementary spends $15,611 per student, higher than the state average, suggesting significant investment in the school's resources and programs.
In contrast, Cornell High and Cornell Middle do not demonstrate the same level of academic excellence. While Cornell High has a strong 92.3% 4-year graduation rate, its test scores are more average, with 25-52% proficiency rates. Cornell Middle has lower test scores compared to the state, with proficiency rates in the 30-50% range. This gap in performance between the elementary school and the middle/high schools within the district suggests a need to examine instructional practices and support across the grade levels.
