Summary:
The Kewaunee School District serves its middle grades through a single school, Kewaunee Middle, which covers grades 6–8 with 185 students at 921 3rd St in Kewaunee, Wisconsin, meaning this one building is the entire middle-school story for the area.
Kewaunee Middle's strengths are clearest outside of test scores. Its chronic absenteeism was 9.3% in 2024–2025, far below Wisconsin's 17.3%, and its dropout rate was 0.0%, versus 0.2% for the district and 1.1% statewide. It also has a small student-teacher ratio of 10.3 and per-student spending of $16,151. Academically, results are mixed. In 2025–2026, 7th grade math (55.36%) and 8th grade science (51.79%) were essentially level with state averages, and 8th grade science jumped 13.46 points from the prior year. However, 8th grade math was 37.50% versus 53.67% statewide, a 16.17-point gap, followed by 8th grade social studies (50.00% vs. 64.63%) and 8th grade ELA (42.86% vs. 54.38%).
Across all eight reported tests, the school averaged 48.44% proficient versus 55.51% for the state. The school ranked 419 of 643 in 2025–2026 with 2 stars and a 35th percentile rank, and has stayed in the mid-30s over three years. Grade-level results swing widely year to year — 6th grade math fell 17.85 points, while 7th grade ELA and 8th grade science each rose 13.46 points — which is expected with roughly 60 students per grade, where one student can shift a grade's percentage by about 1.6 points. Parents should read the attendance and dropout numbers as genuine strengths, and watch 8th grade math, social studies, and ELA as the areas needing the most attention.
