Denmark Middle

Summary:

Denmark Middle is a public middle school serving 325 students in grades 6-8 in Denmark, Wisconsin. It is part of the Denmark School District, which is ranked 118 out of 428 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Denmark Middle has consistently been ranked in the top 30% of Wisconsin middle schools over the past decade, with a current ranking of 173 out of 641 middle schools in the state.

Denmark Middle is a high-performing school that consistently outperforms the state average on the Forward Exam, with significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science across all grade levels. The school also ranks 116 out of 425 Wisconsin middle schools for its performance with special education students and 114 out of 520 for its performance with low-income students, earning 4-star ratings in both categories. Additionally, Denmark Middle has maintained a 0.0% dropout rate for the past 5 school years and has relatively low chronic absenteeism rates compared to many nearby schools.

While Denmark Middle is a strong performer, it is not the highest-ranked school in the immediate area. Schools like West De Pere Middle, Luxemburg-Casco Middle, and Foxview Intermediate (part of the De Pere School District) all have higher academic proficiency rates and rankings than Denmark Middle. This may be due in part to Denmark Middle's lower percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients compared to many of the nearby schools, as well as its slightly higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio.

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.
