Summary:

Etude Middle is a public charter middle school located in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 92 students. It is part of the Sheboygan Area School District, which is ranked 353 out of 428 districts in Wisconsin and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Etude Middle has shown mixed performance on the Forward Exam compared to the Sheboygan Area School District and the state of Wisconsin. In 2023-2024, Etude Middle outperformed the district in English Language Arts for 7th grade (54.17% vs. 43.62%) and Mathematics for 7th grade (58.33% vs. 44.68%), but underperformed in several other grade levels and subjects. The school has also seen significant variation in performance across different student subgroups, with male students performing relatively well, but female students, Hispanic students, and students with special needs or low socioeconomic status performing poorly. Additionally, Etude Middle has had a relatively high dropout rate, ranging from 0.0% to 7.6% over the past 5 years, and has struggled with high chronic absenteeism, reaching as high as 38.2% in 2022-2023.

Etude Middle's performance is generally lower than the nearby Horace Mann Middle, Urban Middle, and Farnsworth Middle schools, which are all part of the Sheboygan Area School District. However, Etude Middle outperforms the nearby George D. Warriner Middle, another public charter school in the district. When compared to higher-performing districts in the region, such as Oostburg School District and Howards Grove School District, Etude Middle's performance is significantly lower, suggesting that the challenges facing the school may be systemic within the Sheboygan 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.
