Summary:
The Maple School District has only one middle school, Northwestern Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. Despite some fluctuations in its statewide ranking, Northwestern Middle maintains a solid 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating average performance compared to other Wisconsin middle schools.
Northwestern Middle stands out for its exceptional performance in mathematics, with significantly higher proficiency rates across all grade levels compared to the state average. However, the school's English Language Arts proficiency is more mixed, with 6th-grade students performing slightly below the state average but 7th and 8th-grade students performing above. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 9.6% is slightly higher than the state average, which could be an area for improvement.
Overall, Northwestern Middle appears to be a solid-performing middle school within the Maple School District, with particular strengths in mathematics and above-average performance in several other subject areas. The school's higher spending per student of $12,166 may contribute to its strong academic performance, but the district could explore ways to address the slightly higher chronic absenteeism rate and improve English Language Arts proficiency, especially at the 6th-grade level.
