Middle Schools in Bruce School District

The Bruce School District in Wisconsin has only one middle school, Bruce Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. Despite its small size, the school has shown mixed academic performance, with strong test scores in one year followed by a decline the next.

Bruce Middle has a relatively small student population of 82 students, and the school district spends above the state average at $13,899 per student. The school's performance has fluctuated, with its statewide ranking ranging from 68th out of 640 Wisconsin middle schools in 2022-2023 to 325th out of 628 in 2024-2025. While the school has performed well in social studies, with 75% proficiency compared to the state's 62.51%, its proficiency rates in English language arts, mathematics, and science have been below state averages in recent years.

One area of concern is the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% for the 2023-2024 school year, which may be contributing to the lower test scores. However, the school's small size and favorable student-teacher ratio of 8.6 to 1 suggest that it may be able to provide more personalized attention and support to its students, which could help address the challenges it faces. Overall, Bruce School District and Bruce Middle appear to be working to support their students, but the school's performance has been somewhat inconsistent in recent years.
