Oshkosh Area School District

The Oshkosh Area School District in Wisconsin operates 22 schools, including 14 elementary schools, 6 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district serves a diverse student population, with significant variations in academic performance, student demographics, and other key metrics across the schools.

The top-performing schools in the district are Traeger Middle School, which ranks 53rd out of 640 Wisconsin middle schools, and the Accelerated Advanced Learning Program, an alternative middle school program that ranks 1st in the state. These schools boast exceptional test scores, with 63-81% and 77-100% of students, respectively, scoring proficient or better in core subjects. In contrast, some lower-performing schools, such as Merrill Middle and Webster Stanley Middle, have proficiency rates ranging from 14% to 40%.

The data also reveals significant disparities in student demographics and socioeconomic status across the district. Schools with higher percentages of minority students and students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, such as Read Elementary and Merrill Elementary, tend to have lower academic performance. Additionally, chronic absenteeism rates vary widely, from 1.7% at the Accelerated Advanced Learning Program to 26.9% at Read Elementary, which may contribute to the academic challenges faced by some schools.
