Middle Schools in United Community Center Inc


Summary:

There is only one middle school located within the United Community Center Inc district in Wisconsin - United Community Center Acosta Middle School. This school has consistently low rankings, placing 485th out of 641 middle schools in the 2023-2024 school year and 544th out of 640 in 2022-2023, and is rated only 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

United Community Center Acosta Middle School faces several challenges, including a high 6.4% dropout rate, a significant 40.8% chronic absenteeism rate, and generally lower test scores in core subjects compared to district and state averages. For example, the school's 6th grade ELA proficiency rate was just 23.08% in 2023-2024, well below the state average of 54.1%. Additionally, a high percentage (81.91%) of the school's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

However, the school does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.9 to 1, which could be an advantage in providing more individualized attention for students. Addressing the school's challenges will likely require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach that addresses the unique needs of the student population and leverages the school's potential strengths.
