Summary

New Auburn Middle is a small public middle school serving grades 6-8 in the New Auburn School District in New Auburn, Wisconsin. With just 51 students, the school has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on academic assessments, particularly in mathematics.

Despite having a very low student-teacher ratio and relatively high spending per student, New Auburn Middle has struggled with low proficiency rates, high chronic absenteeism, and significant performance gaps between different student subgroups. While the school has performed relatively well for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, its overall ranking of 323 out of 628 Wisconsin middle schools and 2-star rating from SchoolDigger suggest there are systemic issues that need to be addressed. Compared to nearby middle schools like Cameron Middle and Chetek-Weyerhaeuser Middle, New Auburn Middle generally underperforms on academic measures.

The challenges facing New Auburn Middle are multifaceted, with low student performance, high chronic absenteeism, and performance gaps between different student subgroups all contributing to the school's below-average ranking. While the school's small size and low student-teacher ratio may be assets in some ways, they do not appear to be translating into better academic outcomes for students. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive approach that addresses the unique needs and circumstances of the school and its community.
