Eleva-Strum Middle ranks 376 th of 641 Wisconsin middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Eleva-Strum Middle is a public middle school located in Strum, Wisconsin, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 142 students. The school is part of the Eleva-Strum School District, which is ranked 331 out of 428 districts in Wisconsin and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Eleva-Strum Middle has shown mixed academic performance, with some strengths in certain grade levels and subject areas, but also areas of concern. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics were generally higher than the state average, but its performance in other subjects, such as 8th grade Social Studies and 8th grade Science, was below the state average. The school's ranking for special education students has been particularly variable, ranging from 32nd out of 437 schools in 2020-2021 to 318th out of 439 schools in 2022-2023. Additionally, Eleva-Strum Middle has experienced higher chronic absenteeism, reaching nearly 20% in 2021-2022, which may be impacting the school's overall academic performance.

Compared to nearby middle schools, such as Northstar Middle and DeLong Middle in the Eau Claire Area School District, and Fall Creek Middle in the Fall Creek School District, Eleva-Strum Middle's performance is generally lower. Addressing chronic absenteeism, supporting special education students, and understanding the implications of the changing socioeconomic composition of the student population could be important priorities for the school.

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.
