Summary:
The 54428 zip code has only one middle school, Elcho Middle School, which is part of the Elcho School District. This small, rural school serves 54 students and has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 59.26% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024.
Elcho Middle School's academic performance is mixed, with some grades performing above the state average in certain subjects, while others are below average. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 318 out of 641 Wisconsin middle schools in 2023-2024 (3-star rating) to 410 out of 640 in 2022-2023 (2-star rating). The school's dropout rate is relatively low at 1.3% in 2023-2024, but it has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% in the same year.
Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.9 to 1 and high per-student spending of $18,236 in 2020-2021, the academic results are not consistently strong. The school's performance suggests that it may be facing challenges common to small, rural schools with high poverty populations, and there may be opportunities to improve student engagement and academic achievement through targeted interventions and support.
