Logan Middle

Summary:

Logan Middle is a public middle school located in La Crosse, Wisconsin, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 369 students. The school is part of the La Crosse School District, which is ranked 303 out of 428 districts in Wisconsin and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Logan Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Wisconsin middle schools, ranking between 400-500 out of 600-650 schools in recent years. It has a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other Wisconsin middle schools. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic and Special Education students performing relatively better, while the school struggles with its African American, English Language Learner, and Low Socioeconomic Status student populations, ranking in the bottom 25% of Wisconsin middle schools for these groups. Additionally, Logan Middle has seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 14% in 2018-2019 to 28.1% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages.

When compared to other middle schools in the La Crosse area, Logan Middle generally underperforms. For example, the nearby School of Technology and Arts II, a public charter school, outperforms Logan Middle across most academic metrics, despite being part of the same district. Longfellow Middle, another La Crosse public middle school, also outperforms Logan Middle. The significant increase in chronic absenteeism and the variability in performance across different student subgroups suggest that Logan Middle could benefit from targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.

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.
