Summary

Fran Fruzen Intermediate is a public middle school in Beloit, Wisconsin, serving grades 6–8 with 490 students as part of the Beloit School District, which ranks 426th of 432 districts statewide. The school ranks 591st of 643 Wisconsin middle schools in 2025–2026 (8th percentile, 0 stars), and has never risen above the 15th percentile since 2016–2017. About 72.65% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch in 2024–2025, per-student spending was $15,131, and the student–teacher ratio was 16.6:1. Chronic absenteeism was 40.5%, while the dropout rate was a relatively low 0.6%.

Academically, Fran Fruzen posted the lowest proficiency of any nearby middle school in every subject and grade tested on the 2025–2026 Forward Exam. In English language arts, 6th graders reached 12.12%, 7th graders 26.52%, and 8th graders 18.18%, against state rates near 55%. Math ranged from 11.89% to 21.21%, 8th-grade social studies was 38.62%, and 8th-grade science 26.21%. The contrast with Aldrich Intermediate, the district's other middle school 1.49 miles away, is stark: Aldrich reached 38.82% in 8th-grade ELA, 30.26% in 8th-grade math, 52.63% in social studies, and 40.79% in science, despite a similar poverty rate (66.41%). Phoenix Middle, with 62.66% free/reduced lunch, reached 40% in 6th-grade ELA versus Fran Fruzen's 12.12%.

Attendance is a major barrier: 40.5% chronic absenteeism is more than double the state rate (17.3%), though it improved from 50.2% in 2021–2022. Proficiency trends are volatile — social studies and science rose from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while 6th-grade ELA and 8th-grade math fell sharply. Per-student spending dropped from $17,058 to $15,131 as the student–teacher ratio rose from 13.2:1 to 16.6:1. Subgroup ranks show relative strength among African American (18th percentile) and English Language Learner (28th percentile) students, but all groups remain in the bottom quartile. The low dropout rate and improving attendance are positive signals.
