Summary:
The Arcadia School District in Wisconsin has only one middle school, Arcadia Middle, which serves grades 6-8. Based on the available data, Arcadia Middle does not appear to be a standout performer, as its statewide ranking has declined in recent years and it is rated only 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
Arcadia Middle faces several key challenges. The school has a high dropout rate of 1.3% and a chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%, both of which are concerning. Additionally, the school's test scores are consistently below the state average across all subjects and grade levels, with only 18.28% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 51.26%. The school also serves a population with significant economic disadvantages, with 78.61% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the school's struggles, it does have some positive attributes, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.1 to 1 and per-student spending of $14,315 in the 2020-2021 school year. However, these factors have not translated into strong academic performance, and Arcadia Middle appears to be a school that could benefit from targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes.
