Summary:
The 54859 zip code area is home to 3 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle/high school, and 1 middle school charter. The standout school in this area is the NorthStar Community Charter School, which consistently ranks among the top middle schools in Wisconsin and boasts exceptional test scores, low chronic absenteeism, and a 0% dropout rate.
While the Northwood High/Middle school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, it still maintains a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 94.7% and a 0% dropout rate. The school's test scores, while below state averages, show some bright spots, such as 61.11% of 10th graders proficient or better in ACT Science.
The data suggests that the Northwood School District may serve a more affluent student population, with the Northwood schools having much lower free/reduced lunch rates compared to the NorthStar Community Charter School. However, the higher spending per student at the Northwood schools does not appear to translate to significantly better academic outcomes, at least based on the data provided.
