Summary:
Spring Valley Middle is the only public middle school in Spring Valley, Wisconsin, serving grades 6–8 with 140 students as part of the Spring Valley School District. Because it is the district's only middle school, its results are also the district's results, so comparisons here are mainly against Wisconsin state averages and across school years rather than against other local schools. The Spring Valley School District ranks 55th of 432 districts in Wisconsin, in the 87th percentile with 4 stars.
This school performs well above state averages in every reported subject and grade in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026 — 16 comparisons in all. In 2025–2026, school results ranged from +8.66 points above the state in 8th grade English Language Arts to +30.04 points above the state in 7th grade math (85.71% proficient, the highest single result in the data). Averaged across the eight tests each year, the school scored 74.13 in 2024–2025 versus a state average of 54.42, and 72.85 in 2025–2026 versus 55.51 — still about 17 points above the state. Math is a particular strength, with school math averages exceeding ELA averages in both years. In state rank history, the school placed 62nd of 628 schools (5 stars, 90th percentile) in 2024–2025, 75th of 641 (4 stars) in 2023–2024, and 85th of 643 (4 stars) in 2025–2026 — roughly the top 13% of Wisconsin middle schools.
Supporting indicators are strong: chronic absenteeism was 6.3% in 2024–2025 against 17.3% statewide, and the dropout rate was 0.0% versus 1.1% statewide. About 25.71% of students qualified for free/reduced-price lunch, per-student spending was $13,454, and the student-teacher ratio was 13.6. The main watch items are the 2025–2026 dip in 8th grade results — 8th grade ELA fell from 74.00 to 63.04 and 8th grade math from 82.00 to 71.74 — and the slight slip in state rank from the prior year's 5-star peak.
