Viking Middle

Summary:

Viking Middle is a public middle school located in Woodville, Wisconsin, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 391 students. It is part of the Baldwin-Woodville Area School District, which is ranked 131 out of 428 districts in Wisconsin and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Viking Middle has consistently ranked in the top half of Wisconsin middle schools, with its 6th-8th grade students scoring above the state average in English Language Arts and mathematics on the Forward Exam. The school's performance for special education and low socioeconomic status students is also a strength. However, Viking Middle has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 5.2% in 2018-2019 to 27.7% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the state average. Compared to nearby schools, Ellsworth Middle and New Richmond Middle stand out as higher-performing schools in the region.

The variable performance of Viking Middle's white and multi-racial student subgroups suggests that the school may need to focus on ensuring equitable outcomes for all students, regardless of their demographic background. Overall, Viking Middle is a solid middle school with some areas of strength, such as its academic performance in certain subjects and for specific student subgroups, but it also faces challenges, such as the concerning trend in chronic absenteeism, and may benefit from examining the practices of higher-performing nearby schools to identify opportunities for 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.
