Summary:
The 54520 zip code area is home to three schools - Crandon Elementary, Crandon High, and Crandon Middle - all part of the Crandon School District. Unfortunately, the data paints a concerning picture, as these schools are generally underperforming compared to state averages across a range of key metrics.
None of the Crandon schools stand out as clear high performers. All three schools score significantly below the state averages on standardized tests, with 3rd grade students at Crandon Elementary scoring just 26.32% proficient or better in English Language Arts compared to the state average of 52.07%. Chronic absenteeism rates are also very high, ranging from 33.9% at Crandon Middle to 41.5% at Crandon High. Despite relatively high spending per student, the academic performance does not seem to reflect the additional resources.
The combination of low test scores, high absenteeism, and economic disadvantage (as indicated by free/reduced lunch rates of 33.75% to 40.64%) suggests the Crandon schools are serving a population of students with significant educational and socioeconomic challenges. Addressing the root causes of the district's struggles will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve outcomes for the community.
