Antigo Middle

Summary:

Antigo Middle School is a public middle school located in Antigo, Wisconsin, serving grades 4-7 with a total enrollment of 502 students. The school is part of the Antigo Unified School District, and has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Wisconsin middle schools, with a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger for the 2023-2024 school year.

Antigo Middle's academic performance is a concern, with test scores on the Forward Exam generally below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 38.32% to 59.81% in English Language Arts and 41.13% to 59.81% in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 51.77% to 54.1% and 53.29% to 55.05%, respectively. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White and Multi-racial students struggling the most. Additionally, Antigo Middle has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 5.1% to 16.0% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average.

Compared to the nearby Menominee Indian Middle School and White Lake Middle School, Antigo Middle performs better academically, but still struggles to meet state averages. The nearby schools face even greater challenges, with Menominee Indian Middle ranking in the bottom 5% of Wisconsin middle schools. Despite Antigo Middle's relatively low student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending, these resources do not appear to be translating into strong academic outcomes, suggesting a need for the school and district to address the underlying issues and improve student achievement.

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.
