Summary:
The Prairie Farm Public School District in Wisconsin has only one middle school, Prairie Farm Middle, which serves grades 6-8. While the school has shown some improvement in its statewide ranking, it still falls in the middle of the pack, ranking 179 out of 628 Wisconsin middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year.
Prairie Farm Middle has a relatively small enrollment of 78 students and a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 46.15%, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. The school's academic performance is mixed, with 7th and 8th-grade students showing strong performance in some subject areas, while 6th-grade students have struggled, particularly in mathematics. Compared to state and district averages, Prairie Farm Middle's performance is generally below the state average, with some exceptions in specific grade levels and subject areas.
The school has a chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%, which is higher than the state average, but a relatively low dropout rate of 1.3%. The school's per-student spending of $11,087 is higher than the state average, and it has a low student-teacher ratio of 7.5, suggesting a focus on providing additional resources and support for students. However, the inconsistent academic performance indicates that the resources may not be optimized or targeted effectively to address the specific needs of the students.
