Summary

Tipler Middle is a public middle school located in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, serving 317 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Oshkosh Area School District. The school has demonstrated strong academic performance in certain subject areas and grade levels, particularly with 100% of 4th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Social Studies, outperforming the district and state averages. However, the school has struggled with higher-than-average chronic absenteeism and dropout rates.

Tipler Middle's performance varies across different student subgroups. The school has performed well with Hispanic students, ranking in the top 25% of Wisconsin middle schools in this category, but has struggled with African American students, ranking in the bottom 10%. Additionally, the school has shown strong performance with English Language Learner and Special Education students, ranking in the top 10% and top 25% of Wisconsin middle schools, respectively, in these categories. Compared to nearby schools, Tipler Middle outperforms Vel Phillips Middle School and South Park Middle School in academic metrics, but lags behind the high-performing Traeger Middle School.

Tipler Middle's overall ranking and star rating from SchoolDigger have declined over the past few years, from a high of 3 stars in 2014-2015 to 2 stars in the most recent years. This suggests the need for the school and district to address the underlying factors contributing to this trend, such as the school's relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which may be impacting attendance and academic performance. Despite these challenges, Tipler Middle has demonstrated strengths in certain areas, and the school and district should continue to work towards improving student outcomes across all subgroups.
