Summary:
The Menasha Joint School District in Wisconsin has one middle school, Maplewood Middle, which serves grades 6-8. The data suggests that Maplewood Middle is a relatively low-performing school within the district and the state, with several areas for potential improvement.
Maplewood Middle's performance on standardized tests, such as the Forward Exam, is consistently below the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. The school's overall ranking within the state, as determined by SchoolDigger, is relatively low, with the school being ranked between 408th and 449th out of 628-641 Wisconsin middle schools over the past few years. Additionally, the school has a concerning 1.3% dropout rate and a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% for the 2023-2024 school year.
The data also reveals that Maplewood Middle serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 57.16% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This demographic and socioeconomic factor may contribute to the school's underperformance and present unique challenges in terms of academic support and resources. While the school's spending per student for the 2020-2021 school year was relatively high at $12,975, the data suggests that there are opportunities for improvement in areas such as curriculum, instructional practices, and targeted interventions for struggling students.
