Summary:
The Delavan-Darien School District in Wisconsin has only one middle school, Phoenix Middle, which serves students in grades 5-8. The data suggests that Phoenix Middle is facing significant challenges in terms of academic performance, with consistently low scores on the state's standardized tests compared to the state averages.
Phoenix Middle has ranked in the bottom half of Wisconsin middle schools in recent years, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics well below the state averages across all grade levels. The school's performance on the Social Studies and Science portions of the state exam is also below the state averages. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending, these resources do not appear to be effectively translating into improved academic outcomes for students.
The data also indicates that Phoenix Middle serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, the school has a 12.1% chronic absenteeism rate, which may be a contributing factor to the academic performance issues. Overall, the data suggests that the Delavan-Darien School District and Phoenix Middle School need to re-evaluate their strategies and resource allocation to better support student success.
