Fran Fruzen Intermediate

Summary:

Fran Fruzen Intermediate is a public middle school in Beloit, Wisconsin, serving 461 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Beloit School District, which is ranked 423 out of 428 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Fran Fruzen Intermediate has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Wisconsin middle schools, with a 1-star rating for the 2023-2024 school year. The school's academic performance is significantly below state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 18.54% of 6th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 54.1% statewide and 20.79% in the Beloit School District. The school's performance on subgroup metrics, such as Hispanic students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, is also concerning. Additionally, Fran Fruzen Intermediate has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, reaching 50.2% in the 2021-2022 school year, and an increasing dropout rate, reaching 3.5% in the 2022-2023 school year.

When comparing Fran Fruzen Intermediate to nearby schools, such as Aldrich Intermediate, another middle school in the Beloit School District, it becomes clear that Fran Fruzen Intermediate is underperforming its peers. Despite the school's low performance, it has relatively high per-student spending, suggesting that the issue may not be solely a lack of funding, but rather the effective allocation and utilization of resources. However, there may be opportunities for improvement, as the school's performance for African American students and English Language Learners is relatively stronger compared to other subgroups, indicating that targeted interventions and support could potentially lead to improvements in these areas.

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.
