Chequamegon Middle

Summary:

Chequamegon Middle School is a public middle school located in Glidden, Wisconsin, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 129 students. The school is part of the Chequamegon School District, which is ranked 301 out of 428 school districts in Wisconsin and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Chequamegon Middle School has consistently performed below the state average in proficiency rates for the Forward Exam across all grade levels and subject areas, with the exception of Social Studies and Science, where 8th-grade students have outperformed the state averages. The school's performance in Mathematics is slightly better, but there are significant gaps in achievement between different student subgroups, particularly with White students performing lower than their peers. Additionally, the school has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism, which may be contributing to its academic challenges.

Despite the school's increased per-student spending and relatively low student-teacher ratio, the impact on academic outcomes has not been evident. Addressing the root causes of the inconsistent performance, equity concerns, and rising chronic absenteeism through targeted interventions and a more holistic approach to school improvement could be beneficial for the students at Chequamegon Middle School.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
