Summary:
The Herman-Neosho-Rubicon School District has only one middle school, Honor Intermediate, which serves students in grades 6-8. While the school has relatively strong resources, including higher-than-average per-student spending and a low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance has declined in recent years, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics below state averages for most grade levels.
Honor Intermediate's statewide school rank has dropped significantly, from 192 out of 617 Wisconsin middle schools in 2021-2022 to 499 out of 641 in 2023-2024. The school's 8th-grade Social Studies proficiency rate is above the state average, but its overall performance on the Forward Exam, Wisconsin's standardized test, is mixed compared to state-level benchmarks. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate is higher than the state's target, which could be a contributing factor to the academic challenges.
Despite the school's resource allocation and funding, the data suggests that Honor Intermediate is facing performance and attendance issues that may require targeted interventions and improvements. Addressing these challenges and aligning resources more effectively with student needs could be crucial for the school and the Herman-Neosho-Rubicon School District to improve student outcomes.
