Summary

Bloomer Middle is a grades 5–8 school with about 350 students in the Bloomer School District in Bloomer, a small rural community in western Wisconsin. For 2025–2026, it ranked 403rd of 643 Wisconsin middle schools—37th percentile, 2 stars—down from 60th percentile and 3 stars in 2021–2022. That places it below several nearby schools, including Elk Mound Middle (92nd percentile, 5 stars), Northstar Middle (64th), and Chippewa Falls Middle (53rd), though it is close to Cornell Middle and Lake Holcombe Middle.

Math is the clearest academic concern. In 2025–2026, Bloomer Middle’s math proficiency was below the state in every tested grade, with 8th grade at 39.33% vs. 53.67% statewide and 6th grade at 42.86% vs. 53.60%. Nearby Elk Mound Middle, Northstar Middle, Chippewa Falls Middle, and Cadott Junior High generally had stronger math results. ELA is mixed: 5th grade was above state at 57.84% vs. 53.63%, but 6th and 8th grades were below state. Social studies (66.29% in 8th grade vs. 64.63% state) and science (50.56% vs. 51.86% state) are relative strengths.

Chronic absenteeism was 14.9% in 2024–2025—better than Wisconsin’s 17.3% but higher than Elk Mound Middle (3.3%), Cornell Middle (2.5%), and Chippewa Falls Middle (10.7%). About 30.57% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch, and per-student spending was $13,594. Low-income students ranked at the 26th percentile, while special education students improved to the 44th. Small nearby schools such as New Auburn Middle and Lake Holcombe Middle can swing widely because of tiny enrollments. Overall, Bloomer Middle is a mid-sized rural school with strengths in social studies, science, and recent 5th-grade ELA growth, but math underperformance, uneven ELA, attendance, and subgroup gaps are the key areas to watch.
