Summary:
The 53115 zip code has only one middle school, Phoenix Middle School, which serves grades 5-8 and is part of the Delavan-Darien School District. Phoenix Middle School's performance is significantly below the state averages in most academic areas, including English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science proficiency. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% and the district's low ranking of 400 out of 426 school districts in Wisconsin suggest that the school and district are facing systemic challenges that impact student outcomes.
Phoenix Middle School has 474 students enrolled, with 68.35% of them receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a predominantly economically disadvantaged population. The school's 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking of 490 out of 628 Wisconsin middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year further highlight the academic struggles the school is facing. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12 students per teacher, which could be an asset if the resources are being utilized effectively to support student learning.
Overall, the data suggests that Phoenix Middle School is in need of targeted interventions and strategies to improve student performance and address the challenges faced by the school and the broader Delavan-Darien School District. While the school's low academic achievement is concerning, the data does not indicate any correlation between the school's performance and the racial makeup of its student population.
