Summary:
The city of Boscobel, Wisconsin is home to a single middle school, Boscobel Junior High, which serves students in grades 6-8. While the school has some positive metrics, such as higher-than-average proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the state average, it also faces challenges related to chronic absenteeism and lower proficiency rates in certain subjects like Social Studies and Science.
Boscobel Junior High's state-wide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 324 out of 640 Wisconsin middle schools in 2022-2023 to 374 out of 641 in 2023-2024. The school's student population of 147 is relatively small, and it has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (54.42%), indicating a significant economically disadvantaged population. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 10.8 is lower than the state average, suggesting a relatively favorable learning environment.
While Boscobel Junior High's performance is generally better than the state average in some subjects, it is often on par with the Boscobel Area School District's overall performance, suggesting that the school's performance is closely tied to the district's overall performance. The school's relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% for the 2023-2024 school year is a concern and may impact student learning and achievement, but its dropout rate of 1.3% for the same year is relatively low, which is a positive indicator.
