Summary

School of Technology and Arts II is a very small public middle school serving grades 6–8 at 1450 Avon St. in La Crosse, Wisconsin, with just 39 students enrolled — the smallest school in its local comparison group and roughly one-eleventh the size of Logan Middle, the school whose building it shares. It is part of the La Crosse School District, which ranks 294th of 432 districts statewide (32nd percentile, 2 stars).

Despite its size and its district's standing, STA II posted top-quartile results in 2025‑26: 74th percentile statewide, 4 stars — the best of the three La Crosse district middle schools, and 32 percentile points above Logan Middle and 37 above Longfellow Middle. It outperformed both same-district peers in 7 of 8 tested subjects and beat the district average in all 8. Its 6th-grade English language arts and 8th-grade science scores were the highest of all nine schools compared, ahead of Holmen Middle, West Salem Middle, Onalaska Middle and Galesville-Ettrick-Trempealeau Middle. It does this on the lowest per-student spending in the group ($11,092), versus $21,747 at Logan and $18,279 at Longfellow.

Two cautions matter. Seventh-grade math (45.45% proficient) is the school's only result below the state average and the lowest of the nine schools in 2025‑26. Chronic absenteeism, at 20.0%, is close to the district rate but roughly seven to ten times higher than Holmen Middle (2.1%) and West Salem Middle (2.8%). With only about 11–13 students per grade, one student is worth roughly 8–9 percentage points, so any single year should be read cautiously — though 2025‑26 is the school's strongest year since 2018‑19.
