Summary:
The Janesville School District in Wisconsin is home to three middle schools serving grades 6-8: Marshall Middle, Edison Middle, and Franklin Middle. The data reveals notable differences in academic performance and school characteristics across these institutions.
Marshall Middle stands out as the highest-performing school, with the strongest test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages. In contrast, Franklin Middle lags behind, posting the lowest test scores across the board. Edison Middle falls somewhere in the middle, with academic performance generally below the district and state levels.
While all three middle schools share a 1.3% dropout rate, they differ in other key metrics. Franklin Middle has the highest percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 70.16%, the highest spending per student at $12,459, and the lowest student-teacher ratio at 10.9. These factors, coupled with its lower test scores, suggest the need for a closer examination of resource allocation and targeted interventions to address the performance disparities across the Janesville School District.
