Summary:
Whitewater Unified School District has one middle school in this data set: Whitewater Middle, which serves grades 6 through 8 and enrolls 394 students in Whitewater, Wisconsin. Because it is the district's only middle school, the district's test scores are identical to the school's scores, so every figure below describes both the school and the district's middle-school results. About half of students, 50.25%, qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
The school's strongest results are in attendance and dropout prevention. Chronic absenteeism is 7.5%, well below the state's 17.3% and slightly below the district's 7.7%. The dropout rate is 0.0%, compared with 0.2% in the district and 1.1% statewide. Staffing is also favorable: the student-teacher ratio is 11.4, with per-student spending of $16,655. Academically, 6th grade English language arts is the clearest bright spot, rising 12.62 points to 54.42% proficient, essentially matching the state's 54.95%. In 2024–25, 8th grade social studies was 69.67% proficient, 7.16 points above the state.
Most other subject areas trail the state. In 2025–26, 7th grade ELA and math both reached 45.30% proficient, each more than 10 points below state averages, and both fell from the prior year. Eighth grade science was 44.72% proficient, 7.14 points below the state. Eighth grade social studies dropped to 59.35%, now 5.28 points behind the state — a 12.44-point swing in one year. Across all eight tested subject-grade combinations, the school averages roughly 48.42% proficient versus about 55.51% statewide. The school ranked 418th of 643 Wisconsin middle schools in 2025–26 (35th percentile, 2 stars), improved from 450th of 641 two years earlier. Overall, attendance and dropout outcomes are clear strengths, while academic proficiency remains below state averages in most areas, with 7th grade the biggest concern.
