Summary:

Middle schools in the Kaukauna Area School District are served by a single campus: River View School, covering grades 5–8 for about 1,160 students in Kaukauna, Wisconsin. The district ranks 90th of 432 Wisconsin districts — 79th percentile, 4 stars. Because River View is the only middle school listed, its middle-grade scores are also the district's middle-grade scores, and there is no local peer school to compare it against, so the most useful comparisons are to the state and to the school's own prior year.

River View School is consistently a 4-star school: 90th of 641 (86th percentile) in 2023–2024, 133rd of 628 (79th percentile) in 2024–2025, and 100th of 643 (84th percentile) in 2025–2026. Mathematics is its standout strength — in 2025–2026, 6th-grade math reached 76.04% proficiency against the state's 53.60% (+22.44 points), 8th grade 74.65% vs. 53.67% (+20.98), 5th grade 72.73% vs. 51.81% (+20.92), and 7th grade 72.51% vs. 55.67% (+16.84). The highest score reported is 8th-grade social studies at 78.47%, versus 64.63% statewide (+13.84). English Language Arts beat the state in every grade, including 72.92% in 6th grade (+17.97) and 61.46% in 8th grade (+7.08).

Year over year, ELA improved in every grade (+1.55 to +4.56 points), and 8th grade rose across the board: social studies +8.54, math +6.07, science +5.54, ELA +4.56. Science, at 60.76%, is the lowest absolute 8th-grade score but still 8.90 points above state and up 5.54 points. Math was not uniformly rising — 5th grade slipped 1.41 points and 7th grade was essentially flat (−0.03) — though both remain well above state. Climate indicators are positive: a 0.0% dropout rate and 11.0% chronic absenteeism, well under the state's 17.3%. Free/reduced lunch is 27.16%, per-student spending $13,540, and the student-teacher ratio 14.9, though the file provides no state or district benchmarks for those three.
