Clark Street Community School

Summary:

Clark Street Community School is a public charter high school located in Middleton, Wisconsin, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 100 students. The school is part of the Middleton-Cross Plains Area School District, which is ranked 54 out of 428 districts in Wisconsin and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Clark Street Community School has shown some strengths, such as higher-than-average 10th-grade Social Studies proficiency, the school has faced challenges in recent years. Its statewide ranking has declined, and its performance on standardized tests is generally lower than the district and state averages. The school's four-year graduation rates have fluctuated, ranging from a low of 46.6% in 2019-2020 to a high of 78.2% in 2021-2022. Additionally, Clark Street Community School has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate compared to nearby schools like Middleton High and Monona Grove High.

Interestingly, Clark Street Community School has shown strong performance in serving its special education students, ranking 3rd out of 55 Wisconsin high schools in this category in 2022-2023. However, the school's performance for female students has been relatively weaker, ranking 301 out of 353 Wisconsin high schools in 2023-2024. The school's small size and specialized focus as a public charter school may present unique challenges compared to larger, traditional public high schools in the Middleton-Cross Plains Area 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.
