Summary:
The Coleman School District in northeastern Wisconsin serves middle-level students at a single school, Coleman Middle, which enrolls 142 students in grades 6 through 8 at 347 Business 141 N in Coleman. Because it is the only middle school in the district, there are no in-district comparisons to make — the most meaningful benchmarks are against Wisconsin state averages and against the school's own prior-year results.
Coleman Middle's strongest indicators are in attendance and completion. Chronic absenteeism was 7.7% in 2024–2025, less than half Wisconsin's 17.3%, and the school reported a 0.0% dropout rate, below the district's 0.6% and the state's 1.1%. Academically, 8th grade science stood out in 2025–2026 at 75.00% proficient, 23.14 points above the state, while 8th grade math (68.18%, +14.51 points), 8th grade social studies (72.73%, +8.10 points), and 7th grade ELA (66.00%, +10.67 points) also exceeded state levels. The school was above the state average in 6 of 8 listed tests that year, compared with all 8 the year before.
The main concern is 6th grade. Math proficiency fell from 71.74% to 34.38%, well below the state's 53.60%, and 6th grade ELA dropped from 69.57% to 48.44%, also below the state's 54.95%. These declines coincided with the school's ranking slipping from 4 stars and the 78th percentile in each of the prior two years to 3 stars and the 58th percentile in 2025–2026 — still above the median, but noticeably weaker. With only 142 students, single-grade swings can reflect cohort differences, so parents should watch whether these trends persist. Context measures show 42.96% free/reduced lunch, $11,985 per-student spending, and a 14:1 student-teacher ratio.
