Summary:
The city of Deforest, Wisconsin is home to a single middle school, Harvest Intermediate School, which serves grades 4-6 and is part of the De Forest Area School District. This school stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, with test scores that exceed the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science across multiple grade levels.
Harvest Intermediate School's 6th-grade students scored 66.57% proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 53.66%, and 71.73% proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 52.98%. The school also maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.7, which may contribute to its academic success. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% is slightly higher than the state average, an area that the school may need to address to ensure all students have the opportunity to thrive.
While Harvest Intermediate School appears to be a high-performing middle school, the data suggests that the school may serve a more affluent student population, with only 19.68% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This could be an area for the school and district to examine, ensuring that all students, regardless of their socioeconomic background, have access to the same educational opportunities and resources.
