Fall Creek Middle consistently performs above the state average in academic proficiency across various subjects and grade levels.

The school has also shown consistent improvement in its statewide ranking over the years, moving from a rank of 254 out of 612 Wisconsin middle schools in 2014-2015 to a rank of 182 out of 641 in 2023-2024, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of the notable strengths of Fall Creek Middle is its ability to support the academic achievement of traditionally underperforming subgroups, such as special education and low-socioeconomic status students. The school's special education subgroup ranks 68th out of 425 schools in 2023-2024, a remarkable achievement. However, the school has experienced a recent increase in chronic absenteeism, from 6.0% in 2018-2019 to 26.5% in 2021-2022, which is an area the school may want to investigate and address. When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Altoona Middle and South Middle, Fall Creek Middle generally outperforms its peers in academic proficiency, student growth, and subgroup performance.

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.
