Summary:

New Auburn Middle is a public middle school in New Auburn, Wisconsin, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 72 students. The school is part of the New Auburn School District, which is ranked 247 out of 428 school districts in Wisconsin and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

New Auburn Middle has consistently performed below the state average in proficiency rates for the Forward Exam across various subjects and grade levels. However, the school has shown some strengths, such as outperforming the state average in 7th-grade English Language Arts proficiency. The school has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 44.44% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Interestingly, the school's ranking for low socioeconomic status students is much higher than its overall ranking, indicating that the school is performing well in supporting this student population. Unfortunately, New Auburn Middle has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 1.6% in 2019-2020 to 18.3% in 2022-2023.

When compared to the nearby Cameron Middle, Chetek-Weyerhaeuser Middle, and Bloomer Middle schools, New Auburn Middle generally performs below them in terms of overall state rankings and proficiency rates on the Forward Exam. However, New Auburn Middle's low socioeconomic status student population outperforms the state average, suggesting the school is effectively supporting this group. The school's performance has declined over the past few years, and addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate and implementing strategies to improve student engagement and attendance could be a focus area for the school.

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.
