Summary

Brodhead Middle is a 5th-through-8th-grade school serving 202 students in the small southern Wisconsin city of Brodhead, part of the Brodhead School District. Unusually for the area, it includes 5th grade, while most nearby middle schools begin at 6th or 7th. In 2025–26 it ranked 361st of 643 Wisconsin middle schools — the 44th percentile, or 2 stars — while its district ranked 336th of 432 (22nd percentile, 1 star). The school has improved over the long term, from the 28th percentile in 2015–16 to a peak of 56th in 2022–23, then slipped to 52nd and 44th in the two most recent years.

Among nearby middle schools, Brodhead sits near the lower end: New Glarus Middle is at the 95th percentile, Belleville Middle 93rd, Parkview Junior High 83rd, Monroe Middle 65th, Turner Middle 54th, Monticello Middle and Albany Community Middle 50th, and Franklin Middle 17th. Scores are mixed. Fifth-grade reading and math and 8th-grade math, science, and social studies all beat state averages. But 7th grade is a serious concern: both reading and math proficiency were 33.85%, far below the state (about 55%) and the lowest or second-lowest among nearby schools — and this group was already low as 6th graders, so it is a cohort issue rather than a one-year dip. Eighth-grade reading and 6th-grade math also came in below state.

Chronic absenteeism was 17.2% in 2024–25 — close to the state (17.3%) but above the district (14.6%) and far above Belleville Middle (9.0%) and New Glarus Middle (5.2%). The reported dropout rate rose to 2.1%. Resources look relatively strong: per-student spending of $17,163 and a student-teacher ratio of 10.6, both better than the nearby median. Students from low-income families and students with disabilities perform above the state median, with special education reaching the 71st percentile in 2025–26. Attendance and the 7th-grade cohort are the clearest places to focus.
