Summary

Aldrich Intermediate is a 6–8 middle school in Beloit, Wisconsin, serving 521 students as part of Beloit School District. Statewide, it ranks 539th of 643 Wisconsin middle schools in 2025–2026 (16th percentile, 1 star), up slightly from the 10th percentile in 2023–2024 and 12th in 2024–2025 but still in the bottom fifth. It is a high-poverty school, with 66.4% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025. Within its district, Aldrich outperforms its same-district peer Fran Fruzen Intermediate in every 2025–2026 tested subject and grade, often by double digits, though Fran Fruzen also ranks low statewide.

In 2025–2026, Aldrich scored above district averages in every reported Forward Exam subject and grade but below state averages in all of them. Largest state gaps are in 6th-grade math and ELA; 8th-grade ELA, social studies, and science are closer, with science and social studies as relative strengths. Nearby higher performers Turner Middle, Parkview Junior High, Milton Middle, and Clinton Junior High post much higher proficiency and much lower chronic absenteeism. Aldrich is comparable to Phoenix Middle and Franklin Middle, beating them in several 8th-grade subjects while they lead in 6th- and 7th-grade ELA and math. Aldrich’s chronic absenteeism rate is 40.9%, far above the state’s 17.3% and near the top among nearby schools; only Fran Fruzen Intermediate is similar. Per-student spending is $16,796 and the student-teacher ratio is 12.8, so funding and staffing are not main constraints. Attendance, instruction, mobility, and climate are likely factors.

A bright spot is subgroup effectiveness: English Language Learner students rank in the 83rd percentile in 2025–2026 (4 stars), up sharply from 51st in 2024–2025 and 19th in 2023–2024. Low-income students rank in the 14th percentile and special education students in the 18th percentile, both improved from prior years. The overall low rank may hide stronger relative effectiveness for some groups. Overall, Aldrich is a high-poverty, high-absenteeism school with low statewide proficiency but mild recent improvement and some meaningful subgroup gains. The clearest priorities are reducing chronic absenteeism, strengthening 6th- and 7th-grade ELA and math, and preserving gains in 8th-grade science, social studies, and subgroup performance.
