Summary:
The city of Random Lake, Wisconsin has only one middle school, Random Lake Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 223rd out of 640 Wisconsin middle schools in 2022-2023 to 364th out of 628 in 2024-2025. While the school's performance on the Forward Exam, Wisconsin's standardized test, is mixed, with some subject areas and grade levels exceeding the state average and others falling behind, it has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 34.19% in 2023-2024.
The school's per-student spending for the 2020-2021 school year was $13,379, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a low student-teacher ratio of 11:1, suggesting that students may benefit from smaller class sizes and more individualized attention. However, the decline in the school's statewide ranking is a concerning trend that warrants further investigation to understand the underlying factors contributing to this decline.
Overall, Random Lake School District has one middle school that is facing some challenges, but also has some potential strengths, such as smaller class sizes and higher per-student spending. Parents and the community may want to closely monitor the school's performance and work with the district to address areas of concern and build upon the school's strengths to support student success.
