Summary:
The Clear Lake School District in Wisconsin has only one middle school, Clear Lake Junior High, which serves students in grades 7-8. The school's performance has been inconsistent, with fluctuating state rankings and test scores that have both exceeded and fallen short of state averages in recent years.
Clear Lake Junior High has a relatively small student population of 100 and a low dropout rate of 0.0%. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 13.4% is slightly higher than the state average. Academically, the school has shown strengths in English Language Arts and Mathematics, outperforming the state in these subjects in 2023-2024. But in the previous year, the school's proficiency rates, particularly in 7th-grade Mathematics, were significantly lower than the state averages.
The school serves a population with significant economic challenges, with 45% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This may contribute to the school's inconsistent performance, as research has shown that economic disadvantage can impact academic outcomes. While the school's per-student spending is slightly higher than the state average, and its student-teacher ratio is lower, targeted interventions and support may be necessary to help Clear Lake Junior High improve and better support its students.
