Summary

Clear Lake Junior High is a public middle school serving grades 7-8 in the Clear Lake School District in Wisconsin, with a total enrollment of 74 students. The school's performance has shown significant fluctuations over the years, ranging from a high statewide ranking of 130th to a low of 425th out of over 640 Wisconsin middle schools.

While Clear Lake Junior High has demonstrated some strong results in certain subjects and grade levels, such as outperforming the state average in 8th grade English Language Arts, 7th grade Mathematics, and 8th grade Social Studies, it has also struggled in other areas, like 7th grade English Language Arts and 8th grade Mathematics. The school's performance for different student subgroups, such as gender and socioeconomic status, also varies considerably, with its Special Education students ranking exceptionally well at 16th out of 437 Wisconsin middle schools in 2020-2021.

Compared to nearby middle schools, such as Unity Middle, Boyceville Middle, and New Richmond Middle, Clear Lake Junior High generally performs at a lower level, particularly in terms of overall statewide ranking and student performance on standardized tests. However, the school does have some strengths, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio, that could be leveraged to improve outcomes for its diverse student population.
