Summary:
The Southwestern Wisconsin School District has only one middle school, Southwestern Wisconsin Community Middle, which serves grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 95 students. The school's performance data and key metrics indicate several areas of concern, including a declining statewide ranking, below-average overall rating, and uneven academic proficiency across different subjects.
Academically, the school struggles with lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to state averages, while its performance in Social Studies and Science is closer to or above the state levels. The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support to address potential socioeconomic factors impacting student outcomes.
Despite the school's below-average performance, its per-student spending is higher than the state average, indicating that additional resources may not be the sole solution to improving the school's outcomes. The school's leadership and the district should closely examine these areas and develop targeted strategies to address the identified issues and enhance the overall educational experience for the students at Southwestern Wisconsin Community Middle.
