Summary:
White Lake School District in Wisconsin contains just one middle school, White Lake Middle, which serves grades 7 and 8 and enrolls 23 students. Because it is the district's only middle school, there are no peers to compare it against locally; the meaningful comparisons are to district and state averages. The small enrollment shapes nearly everything about the data: a percentage point or two often represents a single student, so year-to-year swings should be read as directional signals rather than stable measures.
In 2025–2026, White Lake Middle improved in five of six tested subject-grade areas. Seventh-grade mathematics is the standout, at 57.14% proficient, the only result above the state average of 55.67%, up sharply from 25% the year before. Eighth-grade science (50% vs. 51.86% statewide) and social studies (62.5% vs. 64.63%) are now close to state averages after being far behind in 2024–2025. The main academic gaps are eighth-grade ELA and math, both at 37.5% — roughly 17 points below state. The school's rank rose to 400th of 643 (38th percentile, 2 stars) from 541st of 628 (14th percentile, 1 star), though it remains below the median.
Other indicators are relative strengths. The dropout rate is 0.0%, better than the district's 1.5% and the state's 1.1%, and chronic absenteeism is 15.0%, below the district's 15.2% and the state's 17.3% — still about three to four students in a school this size. The free/reduced-price lunch rate is 60.87% (14 of 23 students). Per-student spending is $47,293 and the student-teacher ratio is 9.9 to 1, both reflecting the fixed costs of a very small rural district. No test scores are suppressed in this data set.
