Summary

Spooner Middle School is a public middle school in Spooner, Wisconsin, serving 258 students in grades 5-8. The school is part of the Spooner Area School District, which is ranked 257 out of 426 school districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Spooner Middle School has consistently ranked in the middle to lower range of Wisconsin middle schools, with a 3-star rating for most years. Female students have generally performed better than male students, while students with special education needs and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds have struggled. The school's academic performance in Mathematics has been consistently lower than the state average, suggesting a need to focus on improving math instruction and support.

The school has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, which may be a contributing factor to its overall academic performance. Additionally, the school's increased spending per student, which is higher than the state average, suggests that the district is investing resources in the school, but the impact of this investment on student outcomes is not clear. Overall, Spooner Middle School appears to be a solid, but not exceptional, middle school that is facing some challenges in terms of student group performance disparities and underperformance in certain subject areas.
