Summary
Honor Intermediate is a small public middle school in Rubicon, Wisconsin, serving grades 5–8 with 128 students as part of the Herman-Neosho-Rubicon School District. In 2025–26, it ranked 155th of 643 Wisconsin middle schools, placing it in the 76th percentile with 4 stars, a sharp rebound from its 1-star, 22nd-percentile 2023–24 year.
Honor’s strongest results are in the upper grades. Its 8th graders reached 81.82% proficiency in math versus Wisconsin’s 53.67%, and 81.82% in social studies versus 64.63%. Seventh-grade math (70.00% vs. 55.67%), 6th-grade ELA (69.70% vs. 54.95%), and 7th-grade ELA (66.67% vs. 55.33%) also beat state averages. In 8th-grade math, Honor outperforms Badger Middle, Nature Hill Intermediate, Horicon Middle School, Central Middle, Riverside Middle, and Dodgeland Middle, though it trails Merton Intermediate, Richfield Middle, and Slinger Middle. The main gaps are 5th grade—ELA 52.94% and math 50.00%, both near or slightly below state—and 8th-grade science at 54.55%, only a bit above the state’s 51.86% but well below Merton, Richfield, and Slinger.
A standout is Honor’s effectiveness with low-socioeconomic-status students: in 2025–26, that subgroup ranked 55th of 513, in the 89th percentile with 4 stars, up from the 22nd percentile in 2023–24. Chronic absenteeism is 8.4%, much better than Wisconsin’s 17.3% but above the district’s 5.0% and above Slinger Middle (2.3%) and Merton Intermediate (4.9%). With $16,218 spent per student and a 14.4 student–teacher ratio, Honor has solid resources but a higher ratio than most neighbors. Because only about 30–35 students are in each grade, results can swing from year to year; families should watch whether the recent gains hold.
