Summary:
Denmark Middle is the only middle school serving the Denmark School District in Wisconsin, enrolling 333 students in grades 6–8 — roughly 111 students per grade — with a 14:1 student-teacher ratio and per-student spending of $12,992. Because it is the district's sole middle-level school, all district middle school results reflect this one campus.
Denmark Middle scores above the state average in seven of its eight 2025–26 Forward Exam subjects. Eighth grade is the standout: math and social studies both reached 71.2% proficient, well above state (53.67% and 64.63% respectively), and both climbed sharply from the prior year — math by 9.3 points and social studies by 10.25 points. Eighth grade science came in at 60.8% versus 51.86% state, up 8.42 points. Sixth grade ELA and math also beat state, at 58.2% and 59.84%. The clear weak spot is 7th grade ELA at 48.39%, below the state's 55.33% and down 5.71 points year over year; 7th grade math also fell 8.33 points to 58.06%, though it remains 2.39 points above state. Across the eight tests, the school's simple average of about 60.56% is roughly 5 points above the state average.
Beyond test scores, the school's attendance picture is unusually strong: chronic absenteeism was 4.5% in 2024–25, essentially matching the district's 4.3% and far below the state's 17.3%, and the dropout rate was 0.0%. With 22.52% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, the population is not among the highest-need in Wisconsin. After slipping from 173rd of 641 schools (73rd percentile, 4 stars) in 2023–24 to 248th of 628 (61st percentile) in 2024–25, the school recovered to 216th of 643 — the 66th percentile with 3 stars — outpacing the district's own 52nd-percentile ranking.
