Middle Schools in Turtle Lake School District

The Turtle Lake School District in Wisconsin has only one middle school, Turtle Lake Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has faced some academic challenges, with inconsistent performance on state assessments and a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking between 260th and 362nd out of 640-641 Wisconsin middle schools in recent years.

Turtle Lake Middle has a relatively small student population of 99 students, with a high percentage (48.48%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. The school's per-student spending is higher than the state average, at $13,042 for the 2020-2021 school year, and it has a slightly lower student-teacher ratio of 14.1 compared to the state average.

While the school's academic performance is mixed, with some grade levels and subjects performing above the state average on the Forward Exam, others lag significantly behind. This suggests that the school may need to examine its curriculum, instructional practices, and support systems to ensure more consistent and equitable academic outcomes for all students. Additionally, the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may present unique challenges that the district will need to address to support the success of its students.
