Horicon Middle School

Summary:

Horicon Middle School is a public middle school serving 171 students in grades 6-8 in the Horicon School District in Horicon, Wisconsin. The school consistently performs above the state average in academic proficiency, with particularly strong results in Mathematics and certain subject areas like Social Studies and Science.

Horicon Middle School's academic performance is generally stronger than nearby middle schools like Slinger Middle, Campbellsport Middle, and Riverside Middle, which have lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, schools like Oakfield Middle and Lomira Middle have comparable or even higher proficiency rates in certain subject areas, indicating that Horicon Middle School is not the top-performing school in the region.

While Horicon Middle School has maintained an exceptional 0.0% dropout rate, its chronic absenteeism rate has increased significantly, from 2.0% in 2018-2019 to 12.2% in 2022-2023. This is an area of concern, as chronic absenteeism can negatively impact student academic performance and overall well-being. The school's ability to support its diverse student population, including a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, is commendable, but the increasing chronic absenteeism rate is an issue that the school should address to ensure continued student success.

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.
