Summary:
The Argyle School District in Wisconsin has only one middle school, Argyle Middle, which serves grades 6-8. While the school has some strong performance metrics in certain subject areas, it generally falls below the state average on many measures, and its statewide ranking has fluctuated significantly in recent years.
Argyle Middle's performance on the Forward Exam, Wisconsin's standardized test, is mixed. In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates were below the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) for grades 6-8, but above the state average in Mathematics for grades 6-8. The previous year, Argyle Middle's ELA proficiency rates were significantly lower than the state average, but its Mathematics proficiency rates remained above the state average. This suggests a relative strength in the school's Mathematics instruction and curriculum.
With a small student population of only 60 students and a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 36.67%, Argyle Middle serves a population with a relatively high level of economic disadvantage. This factor may contribute to the school's overall performance and could be an area of focus for targeted interventions and support. Additionally, the school's per-student spending is higher than the state average, but its chronic absenteeism rate is also higher than the state average, indicating potential areas for improvement.
