Summary:
There is one middle school in the Flambeau School District — Flambeau Middle — serving grades 6–8 in Tony, Wisconsin, with 115 students and a 65.22% free/reduced lunch rate. This small, high-poverty school ranked 500 out of 643 in 2025–26 (22nd percentile, 1 star), up slightly from 16th percentile in 2024–25 but below its 33rd percentile in 2023–24. Its district rank is 325 out of 432, 25th percentile, 1 star.
The school’s standout strengths include 8th grade Social Studies, where 64.71% were proficient in 2025–26, essentially matching the state’s 64.63% and exceeding the district’s 62.86%; that was a large improvement from 40.54% in 2024–25. Dropout is 0.0%, better than the district’s 1.4% and the state’s 1.1%. In 6th grade, ELA and math both reached 50% proficiency in 2025–26, a major jump from 17.5% in ELA and 7.5% in math in 2024–25, though this is a different cohort. Other 2025–26 results include 8th grade ELA at 48.48%, 8th grade math at 35.29%, and 8th grade science at 41.18%.
The most urgent concerns are 7th grade ELA and math, where proficiency was only 8.82% and 5.88% in 2025–26, compared with state rates of 55.33% and 55.67% — roughly 46 to 50 percentage points below the state. The same 7th grade cohort had 6th grade ELA at 17.5% and math at 7.5% in 2024–25. Chronic absenteeism is 26.3%, compared with 18.6% for the district and 17.3% for the state, meaning about one in four students was chronically absent. Across reported grades, 2025–26 ELA averaged about 35.8% proficient and math averaged about 30.4%, while state averages were about 54.9% and 54.3%. Per-student spending is $15,955, and the student-teacher ratio is 13.8. Overall, Flambeau Middle has bright spots in 8th grade Social Studies, dropout, and 6th grade ELA/math improvement, but its biggest challenges are 7th grade ELA/math proficiency and high chronic absenteeism; because grade sizes are small, year-to-year percentages should be interpreted with caution.
