Summary:
The Loyal School District in Wisconsin has only one middle school, Loyal Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 305th out of 641 Wisconsin middle schools in 2023-2024 to 433rd out of 628 in 2024-2025.
Loyal Middle School's academic performance on the Forward Exam, Wisconsin's standardized test, has been mixed. In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) were below the state average, while its Math and Social Studies proficiency rates were above the state average. In 2023-2024, the school's ELA and Math proficiency rates were above the state average. The school faces challenges with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (44.34%) and a chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%, which is higher than the state average.
Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $14,352 and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.5 to 1, its academic performance is still below the state average in some areas. This suggests that simply allocating more resources may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes. The school's fluctuating performance and socioeconomic challenges may be contributing factors that require further investigation and targeted interventions to help the school improve its academic achievement.
