Summary:
The Owen-Withee School District in Wisconsin has only one middle school, Owen-Withee Junior High, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Wisconsin middle schools, indicating a need for improvement in academic achievement.
Owen-Withee Junior High has a 1 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, and its proficiency rates on the Forward Exam are generally lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school also faces challenges with a high dropout rate of 1.3% and a chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%, which is higher than the state average. Socioeconomic factors may play a role, as the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 58.72%.
The school's student-teacher ratio of 13.1 and the district's spending per student of $10,953 for the 2020-2021 school year suggest that the school and district may have limited resources or are not effectively allocating them to support student success. Addressing these issues, including improving instructional practices, supporting students and families, and ensuring equitable access to resources and opportunities, will be crucial for the school and district to improve academic performance and student outcomes.
