Summary:
The 54814 zip code area is home to three public schools - Bayfield Elementary, Bayfield High, and Bayfield Middle - all of which are part of the Bayfield School District. Unfortunately, the data indicates that these schools are consistently underperforming compared to state-level metrics across a range of measures.
None of the three schools in the 54814 zip code area appear to be standout performers. Bayfield Elementary is ranked in the bottom 10% of Wisconsin elementary schools and has low proficiency rates, high chronic absenteeism, and a high percentage of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch. Bayfield High has a low 4-year graduation rate of 68.9%, high chronic absenteeism, and mediocre test scores. Bayfield Middle is ranked in the bottom 25% of Wisconsin middle schools and also struggles with low proficiency rates, high chronic absenteeism, and a high percentage of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch.
Despite higher-than-average spending per student and low student-teacher ratios, the schools in the 54814 zip code area are not translating these resources into strong academic outcomes. This raises questions about how the funding is being utilized and whether it is being directed towards the most effective interventions. Additionally, the extremely high chronic absenteeism rates across all three schools are a major concern and likely contribute to the low academic achievement. Understanding and addressing the root causes of this absenteeism could be an important first step in improving the educational landscape in this community.
