Summary:
Kewaskum, Wisconsin is served by a single public middle school: Kewaskum Middle, which enrolls 418 students in grades 6 through 8 and operates as the middle-grades campus of the Kewaskum School District at 1676 Reigle Dr, Kewaskum, WI 53040. Because it is the only middle school in the city, its results are also the district's middle-grade results — there is no second school to compare against, and no averaging that could hide how the school is doing.
On the Forward Exam, Kewaskum Middle scored above the Wisconsin average in all 16 reported grade-and-subject rows across the last two school years, averaging roughly 71.5% proficient versus about 55.5% statewide — an advantage of about 16 percentage points. Grade 8 is the strongest: 79.05% in English Language Arts (24.67 points above the state), 80.41% in Social Studies, and 72.97% in Math. Grade 6 shows the smallest margins (61.34% in ELA and 63.87% in Math) — still above state, but by a narrower gap than grades 7 and 8. Statewide, the school ranks 90th of 643 middle schools (86th percentile) and has held a 4-star rating for three straight years, up from 100th two years earlier. Tracking the same students as they advance shows genuine growth — about 4 points in ELA and more than 7 in Math for rising cohorts — suggesting the 6th-grade dips reflect a new class arriving rather than any decline among continuing students.
Attendance is exceptional: 2.4% chronic absenteeism against 17.3% statewide and 3.9% district-wide, with a 0.0% dropout rate. Roughly 26% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, per-student spending is $13,237, and the student-to-teacher ratio is 13.4 to 1, or about 31 teachers. The main opportunity for improvement sits in the 6th-grade results.
