Northside Intermediate

Summary:

Northside Intermediate is a public middle school located in Milton, Wisconsin, serving grades 4-6 with a total enrollment of 715 students. It is part of the Milton School District and has seen a gradual increase in chronic absenteeism rates over the past few years.

Northside Intermediate consistently outperforms the state average in proficiency rates across various subjects and grade levels on the Forward Exam. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 6th-grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts (69.51%) and Mathematics (71.14%) are significantly higher than the state averages of 54.1% and 53.55%, respectively. The school's spending per student has remained relatively stable, ranging from $10,837 in 2019-2020 to $11,389 in 2020-2021, which is in line with the spending levels of the nearby schools. Northside Intermediate has maintained a student-teacher ratio between 14.7 and 15.6 over the past few years, comparable to the ratios of the surrounding schools. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Northside Intermediate has fluctuated between 21.33% and 23.78% in recent years, which is lower than the rates of some nearby schools, such as Nikolay Middle (26.57%) and Clinton Junior High (38.75%).

While Northside Intermediate outperforms the state averages, some nearby schools in other districts, such as Nikolay Middle (Cambridge School District) and Edgerton Middle (Edgerton School District), have higher proficiency rates in certain subjects and grade levels. This suggests that the academic performance of Northside Intermediate is strong within its own district but may face competition from some neighboring schools. The school's chronic absenteeism rates, though lower than Milton Middle School, are an area that could be further addressed to improve overall 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.
