Menominee Indian Middle

Summary:

Menominee Indian Middle is a public middle school located in Neopit, Wisconsin, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 192 students. The school is part of the Menominee Indian School District, which is ranked 428 out of 428 school districts in Wisconsin and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Menominee Indian Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Wisconsin middle schools over the past decade, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Menominee Indian Middle's academic performance is significantly below the state average across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 14.81% of 6th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 54.1%. The school also has an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate, reaching 76.5% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is much higher than the nearby Antigo Middle (12.3%) and Shawano Community Middle (32.2%). Additionally, Menominee Indian Middle serves a student population with a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 95.31% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year.

Despite the low academic performance, Menominee Indian Middle spends a relatively high amount per student, with $20,128 spent per student in the 2020-2021 school year. This raises questions about the effective use of resources and the need for a more targeted approach to improving student outcomes. The nearby schools, such as Antigo Middle and Shawano Community Middle, have significantly higher academic performance, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and serve student populations with lower percentages of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, suggesting that the challenges faced by Menominee Indian Middle may be unique to the school or the Menominee Indian School District.

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.
