Summary:
The 53805 zip code in Wisconsin is home to a single middle school, Boscobel Junior High, which serves students in grades 6-8. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending compared to state averages, its academic performance has been inconsistent, with some grade levels and subject areas exceeding state benchmarks while others fall behind.
Boscobel Junior High has a 2-star rating out of 5 on the statewide School Digger rankings, fluctuating between 324 and 374 out of 640-641 Wisconsin middle schools over the past three school years. The school's performance on the Forward Exam, Wisconsin's standardized test, shows mixed results, with 6th and 7th grade English Language Arts scores above the state average, but 8th grade scores below. In math, 6th grade scores were above the state average, while 7th and 8th grade scores were closer to the state average. Social studies and science scores for 8th grade were also below the state average.
The school faces some demographic challenges, with a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 54.42% in 2023-2024 and a chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%, which is higher than the state average. The school's dropout rate for 2023-2024 was 1.3%. While the school's resource allocation, as evidenced by its lower student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending, suggests a commitment to supporting its students, the inconsistent academic performance indicates a need for targeted improvement efforts to address the specific needs of the student population.
