Summary

Augusta Middle is a grades 6–8 school serving 109 students in the small western Wisconsin community of Augusta, part of the Augusta School District. In 2025–2026 it ranked 430th of 643 Wisconsin middle schools (33rd percentile, 2 stars), a meaningful step up from the 1-star, bottom-quartile results of the two previous years. The school's average proficiency has climbed from about 26.9% in 2022–2023 to 47.7% in 2025–2026, cutting the gap to the state average from roughly 15.4 points to 7.8 points. Even so, Augusta Middle trails its own district, which ranks at the 55th percentile — 22 percentile points higher than the school.

Compared with nearby middle schools, Augusta is the smallest and among the best-staffed and best-funded, yet posts the lowest results. It has the lowest student-teacher ratio (9.4) and the highest per-student spending ($19,069) in the comparison group, while its 47.7% core proficiency average is the lowest; Fall Creek Middle, by contrast, averages about 68.6% while spending far less per student. The most urgent red flag is attendance: chronic absenteeism was 24.2% in 2024–2025, higher than every nearby school, above the district's 15.4% and the state's 17.3%, and well above the next-highest nearby school, Northstar Middle at 20.8%. Poverty is high but not unique — Augusta's 52.29% free/reduced-lunch rate is nearly identical to Cadott Junior High's 52.24%, yet Cadott has much lower absenteeism (11.4%) and stronger math results, suggesting demographics alone do not explain the gap.

At the subject level, grade 8 social studies is the clear bright spot at 63.64% proficient, close to the state's 64.63% and ahead of Cadott and Osseo-Fairchild Middle. The biggest academic gaps are grade 8 science (36.36% versus the state's 51.86%, the lowest nearby) and grade 6 English language arts (36.84% versus 54.95%, also the lowest in the group). Math results are middling, at or below state levels in all three grades. Subgroup results are mixed: low-income students improved to the 34th percentile from the 17th, while special education students fell from the 64th percentile to the 23rd. For families, the takeaway is a school with real momentum but three clear priorities — attendance, grade 6 reading, and grade 8 science.

I can't count the number of students who have come into the middle school from another district and started to thrive and do well. The middle school teachers work hard to give the students a positive learning environment. Close Quote
