Summary:
The Manawa School District in Wisconsin has only one middle school, Manawa Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Wisconsin middle schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance.
Manawa Middle's academic proficiency rates are significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, the school's 6th-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 33.33% in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 54.1%. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 20.3%, which may be contributing to the low academic performance.
Despite the school's challenges, it has a relatively small student population of 115 students and a student-teacher ratio of 16.5, which is slightly higher than the state average. The school district's spending per student for the 2020-2021 school year was $10,995, which is slightly higher than the state average. However, it is unclear if these resources are being effectively allocated to support student learning and school improvement initiatives.
