Public Grades

Summary

McNeel Intermediate is a public middle school located in Beloit, Wisconsin, serving grades 4-8 with a total enrollment of 462 students. The school is part of the Beloit School District, which is ranked 420 out of 424 districts in Wisconsin and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

McNeel Intermediate faces significant challenges, with a diverse student population that is consistently performing in the bottom 10-15% of Wisconsin middle schools. The school's academic performance is significantly below state averages, with only 10-18% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics. This is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as English Language Learners and students with low socioeconomic status, who perform in the bottom 10% statewide. Additionally, McNeel Intermediate has very high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 23% to 53% over the past 5 years, and an increasing dropout rate, reaching 2.3% in the 2022-2023 school year.

While the nearby schools in the Beloit School District and other districts also struggle academically, McNeel Intermediate consistently performs worse than its peers, indicating that there may be unique challenges or factors specific to this school that need to be addressed. The school's high spending per student and relatively low student-teacher ratio suggest that the issue may not be a lack of resources, but rather how those resources are being utilized to support student learning. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that focuses on improving instructional practices, supporting struggling students, and fostering stronger connections with the local community.
