Summary:
The Ashland School District in Wisconsin has only one middle school, Ashland Middle School, which has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Wisconsin middle schools over the past three years. The school faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates in core subjects well below state averages, particularly in Mathematics.
Ashland Middle School has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating that the school community faces significant socioeconomic challenges. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate, which may be contributing to the low academic performance. Despite the district's above-average spending per student, the school's performance suggests that the funding may not be effectively targeted or utilized to address the specific needs of the students.
Overall, the data highlights the need for Ashland Middle School to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve academic achievement, attendance, and engagement. Collaboration with the district and community stakeholders could be crucial in developing a comprehensive plan to provide a high-quality education for all students in the Ashland School District.
