Summary:
The city of Turtle Lake, Wisconsin is home to a single middle school, Turtle Lake Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. With a relatively small student population of 99, the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, ranking between 260th and 362nd out of all middle schools in Wisconsin.
Academically, Turtle Lake Middle School shows a mixed picture. While the school's ELA and Social Studies test scores exceed the state averages, its Math performance, particularly in 8th grade, is significantly below the state average. The school also faces challenges with a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% and a large proportion (48.48%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a lower-income student population.
Despite these challenges, the Turtle Lake School District appears to be investing resources into the middle school, with a relatively high spending of $13,042 per student. The school's small size and student-teacher ratio of 14.1 to 1 may also provide opportunities for more personalized attention, though the impact of these factors is not clear from the available data.
