Summary:
The Ithaca School District in Wisconsin has only one middle school, Ithaca Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending compared to the state average, Ithaca Middle is a low-performing school, ranking 460th out of 641 Wisconsin middle schools and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Ithaca Middle's academic performance on the Forward Exam, Wisconsin's standardized test, is consistently below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from 25% to 62.5% across different grade levels and subject areas. The school serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with 44.16% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the school's academic challenges and could require additional support and resources to address.
While Ithaca Middle has a 0% dropout rate, which is a positive indicator, the school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.1%. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism could be an important area of focus for the school and district to improve student learning and achievement.
