Summary:

There is only one middle school located in zip code 54555 - Phillips Middle School. This school serves grades 6-8 and is part of the Phillips School District. Based on the available data, Phillips Middle School appears to be a low-performing school, with a low statewide ranking, below-average proficiency rates, and a low performance rating from SchoolDigger.

Phillips Middle School has a statewide ranking between 365-493 out of 628-641 Wisconsin middle schools over the past 3 school years, and a performance rating of only 1-2 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. Proficiency rates on the Forward Exam are generally below the state average across grade levels and subject areas, with some exceptions in 6th grade English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%, which could be a contributing factor to its low academic performance.

Interestingly, the school's low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients and relatively high per-student spending suggest that socioeconomic factors may not be the primary driver of the school's low performance. Further investigation into the factors contributing to the school's academic challenges, such as attendance, instructional practices, and resource allocation, could provide valuable insights to help improve the school's performance.
