Middle Schools in Dodgeland School District

The Dodgeland School District has only one middle school, Dodgeland Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 284th out of 640 Wisconsin middle schools in 2022-2023 to 329th out of 641 in 2023-2024. Dodgeland Middle's academic achievement on the Forward Exam, Wisconsin's standardized test, is mixed, with some grade levels and subject areas performing above the state average, while others are below.

Dodgeland Middle has a relatively small student population of 157 students and a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 49.68% in 2022-2023. The school's student-teacher ratio of 11.4 is lower than the state average, but it has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 22.3% in 2022-2023. Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $13,096 for the 2020-2021 school year, its mixed academic performance suggests that the resources may not be effectively utilized or targeted to the areas of greatest need.

Overall, the data provides a nuanced picture of Dodgeland Middle, highlighting both strengths and areas for improvement. While the school's performance has fluctuated, its high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients and chronic absenteeism rate suggest that it may face socioeconomic challenges that could be impacting student achievement. Further analysis and targeted strategies may be needed to address these issues and improve the school's overall outcomes.
