Summary:
The Shawano School District in Wisconsin has only one middle school, Shawano Community Middle, which serves grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 485 students.
Shawano Community Middle appears to be a struggling school, with consistently low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a low statewide ranking compared to other Wisconsin middle schools. The school's proficiency rates on the Forward Exam are generally lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, and its dropout rate of 1.1% is lower than the state average, but its chronic absenteeism rate of 32.2% is significantly higher. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio, these factors do not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes.
The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 53.2%, suggests that socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the school's challenges. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to school improvement, focusing on factors such as curriculum, teaching quality, school leadership, and support for students and families.
