Summary:
The Waupaca Middle is the sole middle school serving grades 5-8 in the Waupaca School District in Wisconsin. While the school has some positive metrics, such as relatively high test scores in certain subjects and grades, it also faces challenges in terms of academic performance, chronic absenteeism, and alignment with district and state standards.
Waupaca Middle has an enrollment of 536 students and a 46.08% free and reduced-price lunch rate, indicating a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics range from 43.28% to 55.15% and 44.78% to 64.71%, respectively, across different grade levels. Compared to the Waupaca School District and the state of Wisconsin, Waupaca Middle's proficiency rates are generally lower, with some exceptions in specific grade levels and subjects, such as 8th-grade Social Studies and Science.
The school's 17.7% chronic absenteeism rate is higher than the state average, which may impact student learning and overall academic outcomes. However, Waupaca Middle has a relatively low 1.3% dropout rate and spends $15,367 per student, which is higher than the state average. The school also has a student-teacher ratio of 12.3, indicating smaller class sizes. While Waupaca Middle has some areas of strength, the data suggests that the school may need to focus on improving its academic performance and addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate to better align with the district and state standards.
