Summary

Wisconsin Heights Middle is a small public middle school in Mazomanie, WI, serving grades 6–8 with 153 students as part of the Wisconsin Heights School District, which ranks 92nd of 432 districts statewide. In 2025–2026, the school ranks 176th of 643 middle schools in Wisconsin — the 73rd percentile, with 4 stars — a step down from the 82nd percentile in both 2024–2025 and 2023–2024, and from the 85th percentile in 2018–2019. Even so, it scored above the state average in every reported grade and subject on the 2025–2026 Forward Exam, including 79.63% in 7th grade ELA.

Its clearest academic strength is 7th grade ELA, where 79.63% proficiency beat every nearby middle school with comparable data, including Waunakee Middle (77.43%) and Glacier Creek Middle (76.25%). Math and science are more moderate: 6th and 7th grade math were above the state but below most nearby schools, and 8th grade math (60.71%) topped Lodi Middle, Mount Horeb Middle, Barneveld Middle School and Ezekiel Gillespie Middle School but trailed Waunakee, Kromrey Middle, Sauk Prairie Middle, Spring Harbor Middle and Glacier Creek. The rank decline stemmed from drops in 6th and 8th ELA, 6th and 8th math, social studies, and especially science, which fell from 72.97% to 57.14%.

Attendance is a relative strength: the dropout rate was 0.0%, and chronic absenteeism of 12.1% in 2024–2025 was below the state's 17.3%, though it rose from 9.8% and is now slightly above the district's 11.3%. The free/reduced-lunch rate of 28.1% is higher than at Waunakee Middle, Mount Horeb Middle, Glacier Creek Middle, Lodi Middle, Kromrey Middle and Barneveld Middle School, making its above-state results notable. Per-student spending was $16,516 in 2024–2025. Subgroup results are mixed: special education students rank at the 75th percentile (4 stars), while low-SES students slipped to the 67th percentile from 92nd in 2023–2024. With 153 students and a 10.2 student-teacher ratio, classes are small but results can swing with a single cohort.
