Summary:
The Boscobel Area School District in Wisconsin has one middle school, Boscobel Junior High, serving grades 6-8. While the school has some positive metrics, such as higher-than-average proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the state, it also faces challenges related to chronic absenteeism, socioeconomic factors, and inconsistent academic performance across different subject areas.
Boscobel Junior High has a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 54.42%, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. The school's performance has been relatively consistent over the past few years, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 324 and 374 out of 640-641 Wisconsin middle schools. However, the school's proficiency rates in 8th-grade Social Studies and Science were significantly lower than the state average, suggesting a need to focus on improving its curriculum and instruction in these subjects.
The school's chronic absenteeism rate for the 2023-2024 school year was 17.7%, which is relatively high and could be an area of concern. Additionally, the school's per-student spending for the 2020-2021 school year was $13,093, which is higher than the state average. Overall, while Boscobel Junior High has some positive metrics, it faces challenges that the school and Boscobel Area School District may need to address to improve the overall quality of education for their students.
