Summary

Glenwood City Middle is a public middle school in Glenwood City, Wisconsin, serving 133 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Glenwood City School District, which is ranked 237 out of 426 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Glenwood City Middle's performance on the Forward Exam is generally below the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in ELA ranged from 45.83% (6th grade) to 52.38% (7th grade), compared to the state average of 53.66% to 53.97%. In Mathematics, the proficiency rates ranged from 46.34% (7th grade) to 65.22% (8th grade), compared to the state average of 52.98% to 55.53%. Compared to nearby schools like New Richmond Middle, Elmwood Middle, and Saint Croix Central Middle, Glenwood City Middle generally performs worse, with significantly higher proficiency rates in both subjects.

While Glenwood City Middle has relatively low dropout rates, the school faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 10.4% to 19.5% in recent years. This is a concern, as it may be contributing to the school's lower academic performance. However, the school performs well for special education students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the top 25% and top 30% of Wisconsin middle schools, respectively. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and learning from the practices of nearby higher-performing schools could be key focus areas for the school's leadership and the Glenwood City School District.
