Summary:
The Reedsburg School District in Wisconsin has one middle school, Webb Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. While Webb Middle has some positive metrics, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school faces challenges in terms of academic performance and student attendance.
Webb Middle's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 302 out of 628 Wisconsin middle schools in 2024-2025 to 340 out of 641 in 2023-2024. The school's performance on the Forward Exam, Wisconsin's standardized assessment, shows mixed results, with 8th-grade students performing above the state average in some subjects, while 6th and 7th-grade students generally score below the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% in 2023-2024 is quite high, suggesting potential challenges in student engagement and attendance.
Despite these challenges, Webb Middle has a relatively low dropout rate of 1.3% in 2023-2024, which is a positive indicator. However, the school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (42.45% in 2023-2024) suggests that it serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may contribute to the school's performance and attendance issues. Addressing these factors through targeted interventions and support could be an important focus area for the school and district.
