Summary:
The Black Hawk School District in Wisconsin has only one middle school, Black Hawk Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 280 out of 628 Wisconsin middle schools in 2024-2025 to 414 out of 640 in 2022-2023.
Black Hawk Middle's academic performance is mixed compared to the state average. The school outperformed the state in several subject areas, such as 6th grade English Language Arts and 6th-8th grade Mathematics. However, it underperformed the state average in 7th and 8th grade English Language Arts, as well as 8th grade Science. The school's dropout rate is lower than the state average, but its chronic absenteeism rate is higher.
With a relatively small student population of 72 and a higher per-student spending than the state average, Black Hawk Middle faces unique challenges. The school's student-teacher ratio is lower than the state average, and a significant proportion of its students come from low-income families. These demographic factors may contribute to the school's performance and the need for targeted interventions to address areas of concern, such as the high chronic absenteeism rate.
