Summary:
Clintonville School District in Clintonville, Wisconsin has just one middle school, Clintonville Middle, which serves grades 6–8 to about 224 students, so this school is the entire middle-school picture for the area. About 48.21% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, the school spends $14,860 per student, and the student-teacher ratio is 11.3-to-1. The district as a whole is ranked 311 of 432 (28th percentile, 1 star).
There are real strengths to point to. Grade 7 is the most consistent bright spot: in 2025–26, 7th grade ELA proficiency was 59.15% versus the state's 55.33%, and 7th grade math was 61.97% versus 55.67%. Grade 8 math showed the biggest one-year gain in the data, climbing from 41.77% to 57.89% — up 16.12 percentage points, moving from 11.29 points below state to 4.22 points above it. The dropout rate was 0.0%, better than the district's 0.5% and the state's 1.1%, and chronic absenteeism was 19.5%, better than the district's 23.1% but still above the state's 17.3%. About 1 in 5 students is chronically absent.
Grade 6 is the clearest area of concern. ELA fell from 48.65% to 37.70%, ending 17.25 points below state, while 6th grade math stayed low at 39.34%, 14.26 points below state. Grade 8 science and social studies improved but remained slightly below state. Across the eight reported tests, the school's unweighted average rose from about 51.0% to about 52.6% while the state moved from about 54.4% to about 55.5%, so the gap narrowed modestly but the school still trails overall. School rank went from 3 stars and 54th percentile in 2023–24 to 2 stars and 42nd percentile in 2024–25, then recovered to 2 stars and 45th percentile in 2025–26. With roughly 224 students, year-to-year swings should be read with that small size in mind.
