Middle Schools in Chilton School District

The Chilton School District in Wisconsin has only one middle school, Chilton Middle School, which serves grades 5-8 with an enrollment of 309 students. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.9 and a small percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, indicating a relatively affluent student population.

Chilton Middle School's academic performance on the Forward Exam has been mixed, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) generally lower than the state averages, but stronger performance in Mathematics, where the school's proficiency rates are mostly higher than the state averages. The school's 8th-grade proficiency rates in Social Studies and Science are also a concern, with the Science proficiency being lower than the state average. The school's performance has fluctuated over the past few years, with a decline in ELA proficiency but an improvement in Mathematics proficiency.

While the school has a relatively low dropout rate of 1.3%, it faces a significant challenge with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%, which may be impacting student learning and achievement. The school's per-student spending is slightly higher than the state average, but the data suggests potential equity concerns due to the low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, which may not be representative of the broader community.
