Summary:
The Chetek-Weyerhaeuser Area School District in Wisconsin has one middle school, Chetek-Weyerhaeuser Middle, serving grades 6-8. While the school has some positive metrics, such as a low dropout rate, it also faces several areas of concern, including declining relative performance, uneven academic proficiency, high chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic challenges.
Chetek-Weyerhaeuser Middle is ranked 176 out of 428 middle schools in Wisconsin and rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. The school's performance has declined in recent years, dropping from a ranking of 210 out of 617 Wisconsin middle schools in 2021-2022 to 334 out of 641 in 2023-2024. Academically, the school performs relatively well in certain subject areas, such as 7th grade mathematics and 8th grade social studies, but struggles in others, particularly 6th and 8th grade mathematics, where proficiency rates are significantly below the state average.
Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% is higher than the state average, which could be a contributing factor to the uneven academic performance. With over 40% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school may also face socioeconomic challenges in supporting the needs of its student population. While Chetek-Weyerhaeuser Middle has some positive attributes, it will likely benefit from targeted interventions and support to address these areas of concern and improve student outcomes.
