Alexander Middle

Summary:

Alexander Middle is a public middle school located in Nekoosa, Wisconsin, serving grades 4-8 with a total enrollment of 359 students. The school is part of the Nekoosa School District, which is ranked 370 out of 428 districts in Wisconsin and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Over the past several years, Alexander Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Wisconsin middle schools, typically in the 400s or 500s out of around 600-650 schools.

Alexander Middle'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 the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 28.57% (6th grade) to 43.1% (7th grade), compared to the state averages of 53.42% to 54.1%. The school's math performance is also consistently lower than the state, with proficiency rates ranging from 22.22% (6th grade) to 50% (7th grade), compared to the state averages of 53.55% to 55.05%. Additionally, Alexander Middle has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 4.2% in the 2020-2021 school year to 17.7% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is well above the state average.

When comparing Alexander Middle to the nearby Central Wisconsin STEM Academy (within the same district) and Wisconsin Rapids Area Middle (in a neighboring district), some interesting observations emerge. Central Wisconsin STEM Academy, a public charter school, consistently outperforms Alexander Middle and the Nekoosa School District as a whole on academic measures, while Wisconsin Rapids Area Middle, a larger public middle school, also outperforms Alexander Middle on most academic measures, despite being in a district that is only slightly higher ranked than Nekoosa. This suggests that Alexander Middle faces significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students, even when compared to nearby schools.

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.
