Summary

Wonewoc-Center Junior High is a public middle school in Wonewoc, Wisconsin, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 77 students. The school is part of the Wonewoc-Union Center School District, which is ranked 353 out of 426 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Wonewoc-Center Junior High has consistently underperformed compared to the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics on the Forward Exam. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates were 59.09% in 6th grade ELA, 57.14% in 7th grade ELA, and 40.91% in 6th grade Math, compared to the state averages of 53.66%, 53.59%, and 52.98%, respectively. The school's performance has fluctuated over the years, with some improvements in recent years, but it still lags behind the state and its own district's averages. Compared to nearby schools like Webb Middle and Weston Junior High School, Wonewoc-Center Junior High generally performs worse in both ELA and Math.

The school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 61.04% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, may contribute to its academic challenges. This is significantly higher than the nearby schools, such as Webb Middle (42.45%) and Weston Junior High School (45%). Additionally, Wonewoc-Center Junior High has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 7.1% to 19.5% in recent years, and higher dropout rates compared to the nearby schools. Despite spending more per student ($14,103 in 2020-2021) than Webb Middle ($12,104) and Weston Junior High School ($18,563), the higher spending does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes, suggesting the need for the school and district to evaluate the effectiveness of their resource allocation.
