The school is part of the Carmen High School of Science and Technology Inc. District, which is ranked 416 out of 428 districts in Wisconsin and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Carmen Middle School South is struggling academically, with significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the state average. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 24.19% to 32.79% in English Language Arts, and 22.95% to 31.43% in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 50.36% to 54.1% and 53.29% to 53.55%, respectively. The school also faces high chronic absenteeism rates of 45.8% and a dropout rate of 0.9%. These challenges are likely exacerbated by the school's high-poverty student population, with 98.86% of students qualifying for free or reduced-lunch.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Greenfield Middle School, Wedgewood Park School, and Lincoln Middle, Carmen Middle School South performs significantly worse academically and has much higher chronic absenteeism rates. This suggests that the school may need to implement substantial interventions and support systems to improve student outcomes and address the unique needs of its student population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
