Summary:
Wisconsin Dells Middle School is the only middle school serving the city of Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin, educating 374 students in grades 6–8 as part of the Wisconsin Dells School District, so parents here have a single public middle school option and the most useful comparisons are to the district, the state, and the school's own past performance.
The school's trajectory is upward. It ranked 303 of 641 middle schools (53rd percentile) in 2023–24, 252 of 628 (60th percentile) in 2024–25, and 242 of 643 (62nd percentile) in 2025–26, holding a 3-star rating each year. That compares favorably with the district's overall 2-star, 42nd percentile rating, though the school and district rankings use different pools. In 2025–26, six of the eight listed Forward Exam results were above the state average, with the strongest results in 8th grade: mathematics at 74.56% proficient (20.89 points above state), social studies at 69.91% (+5.28), English language arts at 64.91% (+10.53), and science at 56.64% (+4.78). Seventh grade math (61.65%) and ELA (56.39%) also edged above state. Science showed the biggest swing, rising from 46.36% in 2024–25, when it was 3.68 points below state, to 56.64% the following year.
The main academic red flag is 6th grade. Mathematics came in at 43.08% proficient, 10.52 points below state and down 7.71 points year over year, while 6th grade ELA was 53.49%, 1.46 points below state and down 5.05 points. Seventh grade also slipped in both subjects. Because these are different grade cohorts, the year-over-year changes should not be read as individual student growth. On attendance, chronic absenteeism was 15.3% — better than the state's 17.3% but above the district's 11.4%. The school reported a 0.0% dropout rate, 58.29% free/reduced lunch participation, $15,148 in per-student spending, and a 14.7:1 student-teacher ratio.
