Summary:
Chetek-Weyerhaeuser Middle is the only middle school in the Chetek-Weyerhaeuser Area School District, serving grades 6–8 to 204 students on Knapp Street in Chetek, Wisconsin. Because it is the district's sole middle school, district-level test results are often identical or nearly identical to the school's own results, so the school's numbers largely tell the district's middle-level story.
Academic performance is mixed and swings sharply by grade and year. In 2025–2026, 6th grade mathematics was the standout result at 66.67% proficient, about 13.1 percentage points above the state, while 8th grade mathematics (37.10%) and 8th grade English Language Arts (38.71%) fell about 16.6 and 15.7 points below the state. In 2024–2025, 8th grade was a strength instead: science at 61.67% (11.6 points above state), mathematics at 60.00% (6.9 points above), and social studies at 66.67% (4.2 points above). The 8th grade cohort is the clearest swing point — all four tested subjects were above state averages in 2024–2025 and all four were below in 2025–2026 — though these results compare different groups of students across years, not the same children improving or declining.
The school holds a 2-star rating with a 43rd percentile rank in 2025–2026, down from 48th in each of the two prior years, but comfortably above the district's overall 27th percentile and 1-star rating. Chronic absenteeism is 18.6%, better than the district's 22.8% but slightly above the state's 17.3%, and the dropout rate is 0.0%. Roughly 41.18% of students qualify for free/reduced-price lunch, per-student spending is $16,215, and the student-teacher ratio is 13.3.
