Summary:
The zip code 54241 contains a single middle school, Clarke Middle, which serves grades 5-8 and is part of the Two Rivers Public School District. The school has faced declining performance in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 460 out of 628 Wisconsin middle schools in 2024-2025 to 519 out of 640 in 2022-2023, all with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Clarke Middle's academic performance is generally below the state and district averages, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts ranging from 37.5% to 55.81% and in Mathematics from 28.09% to 40.7%, compared to state averages of 51.26% to 53.97% and 52.58% to 55.53%, respectively. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students (50%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students.
Despite the high per-student spending of $10,836 for the 2020-2021 school year and a student-teacher ratio of 10.8 for the 2023-2024 school year, Clarke Middle's academic performance and overall school rating suggest that the resources may not be effectively utilized or targeted to address the specific challenges faced by the student population. The school's struggles highlight the need for a closer examination of instructional practices, resource allocation, and targeted interventions to support student learning and improve academic outcomes.
