Summary:
The city of Two Rivers, Wisconsin has only one middle school, Clarke Middle, which serves students in grades 5-8. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Wisconsin middle schools, with a 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance.
Clarke Middle faces several academic challenges. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally lower than the Two Rivers Public School District and state averages, with the exception of 6th grade ELA. Additionally, the school's proficiency rates in Social Studies and Science for 8th grade are also below the district and state levels. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% further contributes to these academic struggles.
Demographic factors may play a role in the school's performance, as Clarke Middle has a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 50%. The school's per-student spending of $10,836 is relatively high, but it does not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes, suggesting a need for more effective resource allocation and targeted interventions to support struggling learners.
