Summary:
The 53948 zip code area is home to a single middle school, Olson Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. While Olson Middle School's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 305 out of 640 Wisconsin middle schools in 2022-2023 to 477 out of 641 in 2023-2024, the school has shown mixed results on the Forward Exam, a standardized test in Wisconsin.
In some subject areas and grade levels, Olson Middle School's students perform above the district and state averages, such as in 8th-grade English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Social Studies. However, their performance in 8th-grade Science falls below the state average. Additionally, the school serves a relatively high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with 56.52% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024.
Despite the school's fluctuating performance and uneven academic achievement, Olson Middle School appears to have access to adequate resources, with a relatively high spending per student of $12,651 in the 2020-2021 school year and a low student-teacher ratio of 11.8 for the 2023-2024 school year. These factors suggest that the school may need to focus on improving its overall academic outcomes, particularly in weaker subject areas, and consider the potential impact of socioeconomic factors on student performance.
