Summary:
Ithaca School District has just one middle school, Ithaca Middle, which serves grades 6 through 8 with 69 students enrolled at 24615 State Hwy 58 in Richland Center, Wisconsin. Because it is the district's only middle school, the school-level and district-level test results reported here are identical.
Performance at Ithaca Middle is mixed but trending upward. In 2025–2026, 8th grade Science proficiency was 66.67% against a state rate of 51.86%, and 8th grade Social Studies was 72.22% versus 64.63% — clear strengths. Mathematics sits close to state levels: 7th grade math was 55.56% (state 55.67%), 6th grade 48.15% (state 53.60%), and 8th grade 50.00% (state 53.67%). English language arts is the weak spot, with both 7th and 8th grade ELA at 38.89%, roughly 15–16 points below state; 6th grade ELA was 55.56%, slightly above the state's 54.95%. The school's ranking improved from 28th percentile with 1 star in 2023–2024 to 45th percentile with 2 stars in 2025–2026, though that remains below the median.
Chronic absenteeism stands out at 26.5%, higher than the district's 20.7% and the state's 17.3%, and may be a barrier to further gains. The school reports $17,346 in per-student spending and a 9.5 student-teacher ratio, and its dropout rate is 0.0%. Families should keep in mind that with only 69 students across three grades, a handful of students can shift proficiency percentages by several points, so large year-to-year changes should be read cautiously. Overall, Ithaca Middle shows momentum along with strengths in 8th grade science and social studies, while ELA and attendance are the areas to watch most closely.
