Summary
Brillion Middle is a grades 6–8 school serving 211 students in Brillion, Wisconsin, a small community in the Fox River Valley, and it is part of the Brillion School District. It is one of the strongest middle schools in the state: in 2025–2026 it ranks 57th out of 643 Wisconsin middle schools, placing it in the 91st percentile with 5 stars, while the Brillion School District ranks 76th of 432 districts (82nd percentile, 4 stars). After a dip to the 78th–79th percentile in 2022–2023 and 2023–2024, the school rebounded to the 90th–91st percentile in the last two years, with particularly large gains in 7th-grade ELA and 8th-grade math.
In 2025–2026, every reported Forward Exam subject and grade at Brillion Middle was above the Wisconsin state proficiency rate. Averaged across the eight reported middle-school tests, about 75.4% of students were proficient, compared with about 55.5% statewide — roughly a 20-point advantage. On the six tests common to 7th and 8th grades, Brillion is essentially tied with Gerritts Middle (both about 77.9% average) and well ahead of Wrightstown Middle, River View School, Little Chute Middle, Hilbert Middle, Chilton Middle, Valders Middle, and Stockbridge Middle. In 6th grade, Woodland Intermediate posts higher ELA and math results.
Chronic absenteeism is a standout strength: 5.8% in 2024–2025, far below the state's 17.3% and among the lowest locally. The student-teacher ratio is 11.6 — lower than most nearby middle schools — and per-student spending is $13,366. About 33.18% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, so these results come from a more economically mixed population than several high-performing neighbors. Subgroup effectiveness is strong: low-income students rank in the 93rd percentile (5 stars) and special education students in the 80th percentile (4 stars). Watch items: the only reported Hispanic subgroup result (2023–2024) was 47th percentile with 2 stars, English Language Learner students were 61st percentile with 3 stars, and the latest dropout rate was 2.0%, above district and state after several years near zero.
