Summary:
The Dodgeland School District has only one middle school, Dodgeland Middle, serving students in grades 6-8. While the school has adequate resources, with a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher-than-average per-student spending, its academic performance has been mixed and its statewide ranking has declined over the past three years.
Dodgeland Middle's proficiency rates on the Forward Exam, Wisconsin's standardized test, are below the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) for all grades, but above the state average in Mathematics. However, the school's proficiency rates in Social Studies and Science for 8th grade are significantly below the state average. This uneven performance across subject areas suggests the school may need to evaluate its curriculum and instructional strategies to address these disparities.
Additionally, Dodgeland Middle has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a large proportion of students from low-income families. While this socioeconomic factor may present additional challenges for the school, the higher-than-average per-student spending suggests the district is committed to providing adequate resources to support its students. Overall, the data indicates that Dodgeland Middle has room for improvement in its academic performance, and the school and district may need to implement targeted interventions to address the school's declining statewide ranking and uneven proficiency rates.
