Summary:
Glidden, Wisconsin has two schools in this data set — Chequamegon Middle (grades 6–8, 128 students) and Glidden Elementary (grades PK–2, 25 students) — both housed at 64 S Grant St and both part of the Chequamegon School District, ranked 233rd of 432 districts in Wisconsin (46th percentile, 2 stars). Together they enroll 153 students, with the middle school accounting for about 84% of that total. The area summary lists 0 high schools and no grades 3–5, so local coverage here is early elementary and middle school only, and older students would attend school elsewhere.
Chequamegon Middle is the school with the fuller picture, and its brightest results are in grade 8. In 2025–2026, grade 8 math was 66.67% proficient versus 53.67% statewide, science was 66.67% versus 51.86%, and social studies was 71.79% versus 64.63%. Those subjects also posted the biggest year-over-year jumps: science rose from 35.14% to 66.67%, social studies from 51.35% to 71.79%, and grade 8 math from 48.65% to 66.67%. Grade 7 is the weak spot, with ELA at 35.71% versus 55.33% statewide and math at 45.24% versus 55.67%, both down from the prior year. The school's rank moved from 458th of 628 (27th percentile, 1 star) to 336th of 643 (48th percentile, 2 stars), close to its 2023–2024 standing of 343rd of 641.
Glidden Elementary stands out for attendance and class size: chronic absenteeism is 9.1%, well below the district's 16.1% and the state's 17.3%, while the middle school's rate is 21.1%. Its student-teacher ratio is 7.8 versus 11.7 at the middle school, and per-student spending is $23,712 versus $20,164. Free/reduced lunch is nearly identical (60% and 58.59%), so the small enrollment of 25 likely explains the staffing and spending differences.
