Summary:
Crivitz Middle School is the only middle school in the city of Crivitz, Wisconsin — a single grades 7–8 building of 120 students, part of the Crivitz School District. That works out to roughly 60 students per grade, which matters when reading any number here: one student is worth about 1.7 percentage points, so a move of a few points can be two or three students changing categories rather than a real change in the school. In 2025-26 the school earned 3 stars and landed in the 53rd percentile of 643 ranked schools, up from 2 stars and the 43rd percentile the year before — and it outranks its own district, which is rated 2 stars at the 48th percentile.
The clearest strength is attendance. Chronic absenteeism is 6.8%, well under the district's 8.8% and less than half Wisconsin's 17.3%. Academically, Social Studies (8th grade) is the flagship result at 74.07% proficient — 9.44 points above the state and up 10.74 points in a year. Science was above the state in both years (56.67% then 55.56%), and 7th grade ELA jumped to 61.19%, 5.86 points above state. Averaged across all six tested areas, the school moved from 51.77 (about 3 points below state) to 56.25, slightly above state. Keep in mind the 0.0% dropout rate is not a real accomplishment for grades 7–8 — a zero there is expected.
The persistent concern is 8th grade ELA. At 42.59% proficient it is 11.79 points below state, after 35% the year before, which was 18.97 points below state. Those two results come from two different groups of students, which suggests something structural rather than one weak class. Math and ELA also swing sharply by grade level in opposite directions — 7th grade ELA rose nearly 13 points while 7th grade Math fell 8.47 points — and no year has all four core subjects above state at once. Because the school is so small, parents should trust the two-year patterns over any single-year jump.
