Einstein Middle

Summary:

Einstein Middle is a public middle school located in Appleton, Wisconsin, serving grades 7-8 with a total enrollment of 553 students. It is part of the Appleton Area School District, which is ranked 240 out of 428 school districts in Wisconsin and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Einstein Middle consistently outperforms the Appleton Area School District and the state of Wisconsin in proficiency rates on the Forward Exam across various subjects and grade levels. In the 2023-2024 school year, Einstein Middle's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics were significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school's student groups, such as Female, Male, Asian, Hispanic, White, and Multi-racial students, generally perform better than their respective state-level counterparts. However, the school's Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) student group has a lower ranking compared to other middle schools in the state.

While Einstein Middle outperforms its district peers, it still lags behind the exceptional performance of the nearby Odyssey-Magellan magnet school and the Kimberly Area School District schools. Einstein Middle's low dropout rates and relatively stable student-teacher ratios suggest a stable and supportive learning environment, though the fluctuating chronic absenteeism rates may be an area for further investigation and improvement.

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.

Impact of COVID-19 on Einstein Middle

The coronavirus has had a profound impact on education in America. Learning shifted online overnight, attendance numbers dwindled, and enrollment decreased. SchoolDigger.com is making it easier for you to better assess how COVID-19 has impacted your school. Through the collection of pre-pandemic (2019) and current data, SchoolDigger.com is sharing test scores, enrollment numbers and school demographics from schools across the country – and we make it easy to see how impacted schools compare locally and statewide.
