Summary:
The 54743 zip code area has only one middle school, Gilmanton Middle School, which is part of the Gilmanton School District. This small, rural school serves a student population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Gilmanton Middle School's academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates on the Forward Exam generally below the state average and a low statewide ranking between 342-553 out of 640-641 Wisconsin middle schools in the past 3 school years. The school also faces high rates of chronic absenteeism, at 17.7% for the 2023-2024 school year. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.8 and higher per-student spending of $15,157 for the 2020-2021 school year, which is above the state average.
Despite the school's small size and additional resources, the data suggests that Gilmanton Middle School is struggling to provide a high-quality education and address the unique needs of its student population. Further investigation may be necessary to understand the root causes of the school's academic performance challenges and identify strategies to improve student outcomes and support the success of all learners.
