Summary:
The Fennimore Community School District in Wisconsin has a single middle school, Fennimore Middle, serving grades 6-8. With an enrollment of 195 students, the school has a relatively homogeneous population, with 89.23% of students identifying as White. However, the school serves a significant number of students from low-income families, with a 39.49% free and reduced-price lunch rate.
Academically, Fennimore Middle has a mixed performance compared to state averages on the Forward Exam, Wisconsin's state assessment. While the school excels in 6th-grade Math and 8th-grade Social Studies, it struggles in English Language Arts and 7th/8th-grade Math, with proficiency rates below the state average. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the past three years, from 111th out of 613 middle schools in 2020-2021 to 353rd out of 640 in 2022-2023.
Despite the academic challenges, Fennimore Middle has a low dropout rate of 0.0% and a chronic absenteeism rate of 4.6%, both of which are positive indicators. The school also maintains a student-teacher ratio of 17:1, slightly lower than the state average, and spends $11,675 per student, which may provide opportunities for targeted interventions and support to enhance the educational experience for all students.
