Boyceville Middle ranks 368 th of 641 Wisconsin middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Boyceville Middle is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Boyceville, Wisconsin, with 103 students enrolled. The school is part of the Boyceville Community School District, which is ranked 284 out of 428 school districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Boyceville Middle generally performs better than the state average on the Forward Exam, particularly in 6th grade English Language Arts and 8th grade Mathematics. However, their 7th and 8th grade English Language Arts scores lag behind the state. The school's female students and special education students perform relatively well compared to their peers statewide, but their white students and low socioeconomic status students perform poorly, ranking in the bottom quarter of schools. Boyceville Middle has also seen an increase in dropout rates in recent years, reaching 1.9% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the nearby schools. Additionally, the school has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching 12.6% in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the 6-9% rates at the nearby Elmwood and Spring Valley middle schools.

Boyceville Middle's statewide ranking has varied widely over the past 9 years, suggesting instability in the school's performance. The school generally underperforms compared to the nearby middle schools, such as Elmwood Middle and Spring Valley Middle, which have higher test scores, lower dropout rates, and lower chronic absenteeism. This, combined with the school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds and relatively high student-teacher ratio, suggests that Boyceville Middle may be struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students.

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.
