Summary

The School of Technology and Arts II is a public charter middle school located in La Crosse, Wisconsin, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 34 students. It is part of the La Crosse School District, which is ranked 320 out of 426 districts in Wisconsin and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The School of Technology and Arts II stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently outperforming the La Crosse School District and the state of Wisconsin in various subject areas on the Forward Exam, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA) and Social Studies. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 81.82% of 6th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 54.04% for the district and 53.66% for the state. The school has also shown exceptional performance among its male students, ranking in the top 95 out of 577 Wisconsin middle schools in the 2024-2025 school year.

However, the school faces some challenges, such as higher chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 17.7% to 25.3% in recent years, and fluctuating performance, with its ranking among Wisconsin middle schools ranging from 118 out of 594 in the 2018-2019 school year to 461 out of 609 in the 2015-2016 school year. The school also has a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, suggesting it serves a population with lower socioeconomic status, which could impact academic performance and other factors. Despite these challenges, the School of Technology and Arts II outperforms nearby Longfellow Middle and Logan Middle schools, which are also part of the La Crosse School District.
