Summary:
The Two Rivers Public School District has only one middle school, Clarke Middle, serving grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 462 students. While the school has a relatively low dropout rate of 0.4%, it faces significant challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 20.8% and consistently low academic performance, with proficiency rates below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas.
The data suggests that socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the school's struggles, as 46.32% of students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the district's efforts to allocate resources, with above-average spending per student and a low student-teacher ratio, these investments have not yet translated into improved academic outcomes for the school. Addressing the chronic absenteeism issue and implementing targeted interventions to boost academic performance may be crucial next steps for the school and the district.
Overall, Clarke Middle faces significant challenges in terms of academic achievement and student engagement, and the Two Rivers Public School District may need to explore additional strategies to support the school and improve educational outcomes for its middle school students.
