Augusta Middle

Summary:

Augusta Middle is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Augusta School District in Wisconsin. The school has 118 students and is located in the town of Augusta. Unfortunately, Augusta Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Wisconsin middle schools, with a 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating very low academic performance compared to other middle schools in the state.

The school's proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science are all significantly below the state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 8th-grade proficiency rates were 27.59% in ELA, 58.62% in Math, 51.72% in Social Studies, and 41.38% in Science, compared to the state averages of 50.36%, 53.29%, 61.09%, and 49.62%, respectively. Additionally, Augusta Middle has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 11.9% to 28.7% over the past 5 years, which is well above the state average.

While Augusta Middle struggles, there are several higher-performing middle schools within a 20-mile radius, such as Northstar Middle, South Middle, and Fall Creek Middle, which are all rated 3 or 4 stars by SchoolDigger. This suggests that the challenges faced by Augusta Middle may be specific to the school or Augusta School District, rather than the broader geographic area.

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.
