Wisconsin Hills Middle is a high-performing public middle school located in Brookfield, Wisconsin, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 822 students. The school is part of the Elmbrook School District, which is ranked 11th out of 426 school districts in Wisconsin and is rated 5 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Wisconsin Hills Middle has consistently been ranked among the top middle schools in Wisconsin, with a current ranking of 52 out of 628 Wisconsin middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year. The school has maintained a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the majority of the past decade, indicating its strong academic performance and overall quality. This is evidenced by the school's high proficiency rates on the Forward Exam, which consistently outperform the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 77.89% of 6th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 83.16% for the Elmbrook School District and 53.66% for the state of Wisconsin.

Wisconsin Hills Middle also excels in serving diverse student populations, with high rankings for subgroups such as Asian, Hispanic, and Multi-racial students. The school's performance for its low socioeconomic status (SES) student subgroup is not as strong, but it still maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.2 to 13.9 in recent years, which is lower than the state average and may contribute to the school's overall academic success. When compared to nearby schools, such as Pilgrim Park Middle, Wisconsin Hills Middle consistently outperforms its counterparts across all subject areas and grade levels.
