Brodhead Middle

Summary:

Brodhead Middle is a public middle school located in Brodhead, Wisconsin, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of 230. The school is part of the Brodhead School District, which is ranked 339 out of 428 districts in Wisconsin and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Brodhead Middle has shown mixed academic performance compared to the state average. While the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) are generally higher than the state averages, its Mathematics proficiency rates are mostly lower. The school also has some disparities in performance among different student groups, with female students and white students outperforming their peers. However, Brodhead Middle's performance is generally on par with or slightly better than some nearby middle schools, such as Turner Middle and Franklin Middle, though it lags behind higher-performing schools like Belleville Middle and New Glarus Middle.

One concerning trend at Brodhead Middle is the steady increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 1.8% in 2019-2020 to 15.8% in 2022-2023. This issue, along with the need to improve mathematics instruction, could be key focus areas for the school to enhance its overall academic outcomes. Despite these challenges, Brodhead Middle maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to more personalized attention for students, and a 0% dropout rate, which is a positive indicator.

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.
