Summary:
The 53714 zip code in Wisconsin has only one middle school, Whitehorse Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Madison Metropolitan School District.
Whitehorse Middle School does not appear to be a standout performer, ranking 512 out of 628 Wisconsin middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year and earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is consistently below the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science across multiple grade levels. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%.
Despite the school's lower academic performance, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.8 and spends $14,600 per student, which is higher than the national average. However, it's unclear if this additional funding is being effectively utilized to improve student outcomes. The school also serves a high percentage of students from low-income families, with 54.25% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which may be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges.
