George D Warriner Middle

Summary:

George D Warriner Middle is a public charter middle school serving grades 6-8 in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, with an enrollment of 61 students. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past decade, dropping from 144th out of 612 Wisconsin middle schools in 2016-2017 to its current ranking of 440th out of 641 in 2023-2024, it has maintained exceptional attendance rates and low dropout rates compared to nearby schools.

One of the school's key strengths is its performance for special education students, who ranked 65th out of 425 Wisconsin middle schools in 2023-2024, earning a 4-star rating. Additionally, the school's low-socioeconomic status students have maintained a 3-star rating in 2023-2024, ranking 225th out of 520 Wisconsin middle schools, suggesting the school is providing additional support and resources to this student population. However, the school's overall academic performance has declined, with fluctuations in different grades and subjects, and it generally trails the Sheboygan Area School District in most areas.

Interestingly, the school's performance is lower than the nearby Etude Middle, another public charter school in the Sheboygan area, which has outperformed George D Warriner Middle in several academic areas. This highlights the potential for charter schools to provide innovative educational approaches that can lead to improved student outcomes. Overall, George D Warriner Middle faces challenges, but its exceptional attendance rates, low dropout rates, and strong performance for special education and low-income students suggest it may be providing valuable educational opportunities for its unique student population.

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.

This school is very amazing. It had the most wonderful, and caring teachers who actually care about you and your future. They push you in a way you don't realize you're being pushed, but are progressing. If you are behind, you can catch up, ahead you can keep going. Students are very close, and get to know their teachers and each other very well. There's a homey, and loving atmosphere. Everyone loves to laugh and joke around, and it's strict without being too strict. This school is amazing, and students are welcomed into the loving arms of George D. Warriner. Welcome to WMS!

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.
