Menomonie Middle

Summary:

Menomonie Middle is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Menomonie Area School District, with a student population of 696. The school has a statewide ranking that has fluctuated between 181 and 396 out of over 600 Wisconsin middle schools in recent years, with a current ranking of 273 and a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Menomonie Middle has shown strong academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science that generally exceed the state averages. However, the school's performance across different student subgroups is mixed, performing well for female, male, and Hispanic students but struggling with Asian and multi-racial student performance. Additionally, Menomonie Middle has seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 10.9% in 2020-2021 to 20.3% in 2022-2023, which is a concerning trend the school should address. The school's spending of around $12,000 per student and a student-teacher ratio of 14.2 in 2022-2023 are both slightly better than the state averages.

Compared to nearby middle schools, Menomonie Middle's performance is generally on par with or slightly better than schools like Viking Middle, Glenwood City Middle, and DeLong Middle. However, it lags behind the high-performing Elmwood Middle and Elk Mound Middle schools in terms of overall ranking and academic proficiency.

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.
