Marinette Intermediate

Summary:

Marinette Intermediate is an elementary school serving grades 2-4 in the Marinette School District in Marinette, Wisconsin, with 365 students. The school has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Wisconsin elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

Marinette Intermediate's academic performance, as measured by the Forward Exam, is significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 39.32% of 3rd graders and 31.11% of 4th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 52.07% and 53.42%, respectively. The school's math performance is also lagging, with only 43.1% of 3rd graders and 41.48% of 4th graders reaching proficiency, compared to the state averages of 56.58% and 55.05%. Additionally, Marinette Intermediate has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 12.2% in 2019-2020 to 28.8% in 2021-2022, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school also has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 56.71% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023.

When comparing Marinette Intermediate to other nearby schools, such as Crivitz Elementary and Peshtigo Elementary, the school consistently underperforms on academic measures. However, Marinette Intermediate's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students and special education students tending to perform better than their white and low-socioeconomic status peers. Despite spending more per student than some of its nearby counterparts, the school's higher student-teacher ratio suggests that the additional funding may not be translating into better outcomes for its students.

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.
