Summary:
The Bayfield School District in Wisconsin has only one middle school, Bayfield Middle, which serves grades 6-8. Based on the available data, Bayfield Middle does not appear to be a standout performer, ranking 505 out of 641 Wisconsin middle schools for the 2023-2024 school year and earning a low 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Bayfield Middle has a relatively small enrollment of 92 students and a high percentage of 68.48% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school's academic performance on standardized tests is consistently below the state average across multiple subjects and grade levels, with the lowest performance in 8th-grade Mathematics where 0% of students scored proficient or better, compared to the state average of 31.79%. Additionally, the school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 51.1%, which may be contributing to the low academic outcomes.
Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $25,060 and a low student-to-teacher ratio of 8.3, the school's educational outcomes remain poor. This suggests a need for the Bayfield School District to re-evaluate the effectiveness of resource allocation and instructional practices at Bayfield Middle in order to improve the academic performance and attendance of its students.
