Summary:
The city of Bangor, Wisconsin is home to two schools: Bangor Elementary and Bangor Middle/High, both part of the Bangor School District. Based on the available data, Bangor Elementary stands out as the higher-performing school, consistently ranking higher in statewide rankings and outperforming the state and district averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics on the Forward Exam.
Bangor Elementary has a lower chronic absenteeism rate of 7.8% compared to 14.6% at Bangor Middle/High. Both schools have a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, with Bangor Elementary at 29.69% and Bangor Middle/High at 26.3%. Spending per student is higher at Bangor Elementary ($13,319) compared to Bangor Middle/High ($12,656), which may contribute to the elementary school's stronger academic performance.
While Bangor Middle/High has a strong 97.8% four-year graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate, the school's performance on the Forward Exam has been more mixed, with students performing above the state average in 8th grade English Language Arts, 8th grade Social Studies, and 8th grade Science, but not consistently across all grade levels and subjects. The fluctuations in Bangor Middle/High's statewide rankings over the past few years suggest a need to further investigate the factors influencing the school's performance to identify areas for improvement and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in the Bangor School District.
