Summary:
The Clear Lake School District in Wisconsin has only one middle school, Clear Lake Junior High, which serves students in grades 6-8. Despite its small size, with just 74 students, the school has shown fluctuating performance, with its statewide ranking ranging from 130th out of 628 middle schools in 2024-2025 to 425th out of 640 in 2022-2023.
On the positive side, Clear Lake Junior High students generally perform above the state average in proficiency on the Forward Exam across subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science, and in many cases, the school's proficiency rates are also higher than the district average. The school also has a low dropout rate of 1.3% and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.8 to 1. However, the school faces some challenges, including a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% and a significant percentage of students (44.59%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic need among the student population.
Overall, while Clear Lake Junior High may face some inconsistencies in its performance, the school appears to be providing a solid academic foundation for its students, with the district allocating resources effectively to support the school. The high chronic absenteeism rate and economic challenges, however, are areas that the school and district may need to address to ensure the continued success of their students.
