Summary:
Highland School District has only one middle school, Highland Community Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Wisconsin middle schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics below the state averages. Despite higher per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio, the school's academic outcomes remain a concern.
Highland Community Middle faces several challenges, including declining performance on the Forward Exam, Wisconsin's standardized test. The school has a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, indicating a significant population from low-income families. While the resource allocation at the school is higher than the state average, the academic performance suggests the need for more effective utilization of these resources to support student learning.
Compared to the Highland School District and the state of Wisconsin, Highland Community Middle's performance is generally lower across various metrics. This suggests the school may require targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and provide a quality education for the community.
