Summary:
Spring Valley School District in Wisconsin contains a single middle school, Spring Valley Middle, which serves grades 6–8 and enrolls 140 students. Because it is the only middle school in the district, school-level and district-level figures are often identical. The district ranks 55th out of 432 Wisconsin districts — the 87th percentile — with 4 stars. The school’s own state ranking has been consistently high: 88th percentile with 4 stars in 2023–2024, 90th percentile with 5 stars in 2024–2025, and 87th percentile with 4 stars in 2025–2026, placing it in the top 10–13% of Wisconsin middle schools.
Academically, Spring Valley Middle beat the state average in every reported subject and grade in both 2025–2026 and 2024–2025. Mathematics is the standout: 7th grade math reached 85.71% proficient, and the school’s 2025–2026 math average of 76.38% was about 22 percentage points above the state’s 54.31%. ELA averaged 70.77% versus 54.89% statewide, roughly 16 points higher. Eighth grade science held a 15–16 point advantage over the state both years, and 8th grade social studies, while declining 8.09 points to 73.91%, still exceeded the state by 9.28 points. The narrowest margin was 8th grade ELA at +8.66 points, down nearly 11 points from the prior year; 6th and 7th grade ELA both improved.
Engagement indicators are a major strength: chronic absenteeism is 6.3% versus 17.3% statewide, and the dropout rate is 0.0% against 1.1% statewide. For context, 25.71% of students qualify for free/reduced-price lunch, per-student spending is $13,454, and the student-teacher ratio is 13.6. The main watch items are the year-over-year declines in 8th grade ELA and 8th grade social studies, though both remain above state averages.
