Wentzville South Middle is a high-performing public middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Wentzville R-IV school district in Wentzville, Missouri. With a total enrollment of 1,072 students, the school has consistently been ranked among the top middle schools in the state, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wentzville South Middle's academic performance is particularly noteworthy, with students consistently outperforming state and district averages on standardized tests across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 61.1% of 6th graders were proficient or better in MAP Mathematics, compared to the state average of 45.5%.

Very unhelpful with bullying. Make the children afraid to tell because they grill them, and also grill the bully's friends who OF COURSEdefend the bully then the child being bullied gets nothing done about being bullied except retaliation of lies from the bully's group, and ends up getting in trouble for lies. A child being bullied should be able to tell and then the bully be spoken to with a consequence not an interview with all the bullies best friends on whether it's true! Close Quote
