Summary

Chetek-Weyerhaeuser Middle is a grades 6–8 school with 204 students in Chetek, a small community in northwestern Wisconsin, and it belongs to the Chetek-Weyerhaeuser Area School District. In 2025–2026 the school ranked 369th of 643 Wisconsin middle schools — the 43rd percentile, or 2 stars. The district itself ranked 315th of 432 districts (27th percentile, 1 star). The school's rank history shows a long slide from a high of 84th percentile in 2015–2016 and a 2020–2021 rebound to the 76th percentile (4 stars), followed by steady decline to 43rd today.

Results by grade and subject are uneven. The brightest spot is 6th-grade math, where 66.67% of students were proficient — well above the state's 53.6% and second only to Cameron Middle among nearby schools. Seventh-grade ELA (57.14%) also beats the state. But 8th grade is the clear red flag: 38.71% proficient in ELA (state: 54.38%), below every nearby school, and 37.10% in math. The previous year's 8th graders scored above state averages in ELA, math, social studies, and science, so this looks as much cohort-driven as grade-level-driven. Among neighbors, the school finishes ahead of Bloomer Middle, New Auburn Middle, and Riverview Middle, but behind Prairie Farm Middle, Cameron Middle, and Rice Lake Middle.

Chronic absenteeism is the most obvious non-academic concern. At 18.6% in 2024–2025, it is above the state's 17.3% and higher than every nearby school, from Cameron Middle at 5.7% to Bloomer Middle at 14.9%. The school spends $16,215 per student — more than Prairie Farm Middle, Rice Lake Middle, Bloomer Middle, and Cameron Middle, all of which rank higher — with a free/reduced-lunch rate of 41.18% and a student–teacher ratio of 13.3. Effectiveness with special education students (55th percentile, 3 stars) outpaces the school overall, while low-income students (34th percentile) and male students (37th percentile) trail. Parents may want to ask about 8th-grade ELA and math support, attendance efforts, and help for those groups.
