Summary:
The 54949 zip code is home to a single middle school, Manawa Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. While the school's 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and low statewide ranking of 400 out of 628 Wisconsin middle schools suggest it may be struggling to provide a high-quality education, the data reveals some interesting insights about the school's performance and demographics.
Manawa Middle School's test scores are generally below the state average, with the largest gaps in 7th grade English Language Arts and 6th grade math. The school also has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7%, which could be a contributing factor to the lower test scores. Additionally, the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, with nearly half of its students (49.56%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the school's challenges, it does have some bright spots. Its spending per student of $10,995 is relatively high, and its student-teacher ratio of 12.5 is lower than the state average. Additionally, the school's 8th grade students perform better than the state average in social studies and science proficiency. However, these strengths do not appear to be translating into strong overall academic outcomes, and the Manawa School District may need to provide additional support and resources to help Manawa Middle School improve student achievement and provide a high-quality education to its students.
