Summary:
Belleville Middle is the only middle school in the Belleville School District, serving 111 students in grades 7–8 in Belleville, Wisconsin. With roughly 55 students per grade, it is a small school, and its student-teacher ratio of 8.6 — implying about 13 teachers — reflects relatively small classes. Because it is the district's sole middle school, district-level test scores and absenteeism figures mirror the school's own numbers, so the most useful comparison is between this school and the state of Wisconsin.
Belleville Middle performs well above the Wisconsin average. It ranked 43rd out of 643 middle schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 93rd percentile with 5 stars, up from 65th of 628 the prior year and 116th of 641 the year before. Every reported Forward Exam subject and grade level exceeded the state proficiency rate in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026. Math is the standout: 8th grade math reached 86% proficiency versus 53.67% statewide, a +32.33 point advantage, while 7th grade math hit 81.36% against 55.67%. Eighth grade English language arts jumped from 61.67% to 80%, and social studies rose from 78.33% to 86%. Science slipped from 75% to 70% but still beat the state's 51.86%.
Attendance and completion indicators are also strong. Chronic absenteeism is 9.0%, roughly half the state's 17.3%, and the dropout rate is 0.0%, better than both the district and the state. About 22.52% of students — roughly 25 — qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and per-student spending is $16,369. Families should note that with about 55 students per grade, a few students can shift proficiency percentages by 2 points or more, so single-year changes deserve caution. Even so, the multi-year pattern of top rankings and above-state results in every reported subject is consistent and strong.
