Summary:
Florence County School District is home to exactly one middle school: Florence Middle, which serves grades 7–8 with 56 students at 425 Olive Ave in Florence, Wisconsin. Because it is the only middle school in the Florence County School District, its results are also the district's middle-level results. The school currently ranks 262nd of 643 Wisconsin middle schools — the 59th percentile with 3 stars — while the district ranks 191st of 432 districts, the 56th percentile with 3 stars.
Academically, Florence Middle improved in five of its six reported subject-and-grade tests between 2024–25 and 2025–26. Eighth-grade Social Studies led the way at 79.17% proficient, which is 14.54 points above the state and a 16.67-point gain from the prior year. Seventh-grade math reached 65.38% proficient, 9.71 points above the state, and both ELA grades rose by roughly 8–10 points, putting 7th-grade ELA above the state and 8th-grade ELA at about the state average. The clear exception is 8th-grade math, which fell to 41.67% proficient — 12.00 points below the state and a 14.58-point decline. Across all six tests, the school averaged about 58.7% proficient in 2025–26 versus about 55.9% statewide.
Other indicators are encouraging. Chronic absenteeism was 7.0%, well below the district's 8.8% and less than half the state's 17.3%, and the dropout rate was 0.0%. The school reports $20,020 in per-student spending and a 7.8:1 student-teacher ratio, though the data includes no state or peer comparisons for those figures. Its ranking rebounded from the 44th percentile and 2 stars in 2024–25 to the 59th percentile and 3 stars in 2025–26. With only 56 students, each grade holds roughly the mid-20s, so a single student can shift a proficiency rate by 3–4 points — large year-to-year swings should be read with that in mind.
