of 643 Wisconsin Middle Schools

Better than 95% of Wisconsin middle schools

Summary

Wisconsin Hills Middle is a large suburban public middle school serving about 812 students in grades 6–8 in Brookfield, Wisconsin, part of the Elmbrook School District. In 2025–2026 it ranked 32nd of 643 Wisconsin middle schools (95th percentile, five stars), and across ten reported years it has never fallen below the 78th percentile.

Students here score roughly 20–30 points above the state average in every tested subject and grade — 83.96 in sixth-grade math versus 53.60 statewide, for example — while sitting just slightly below their own district's very high average in seven of eight measures. The most instructive comparison is Pilgrim Park Middle, 2.1 miles away in the same district: it ranks higher (98th percentile) while spending about $1,482 less per student. Chronic absenteeism is 3.3%, more than five times lower than the state's 17.3%. The contrast with Horning Middle, 3.16 miles away, is sharper still: Horning spends the most per student ($17,201) and has the smallest classes (11.1 students per teacher) in the comparison set, yet ranks 31st percentile with 22.4% chronic absenteeism.

The areas to watch are narrow: eighth grade is the internal soft spot, with science (72.24) and math (74.62) the lowest grade-8 figures, and grade-8 math trails the district by 3.08 points; seventh-grade math slipped slightly while the district improved. The school's standout strength is how well it serves students who often lag elsewhere — English learners ranked in the 97th percentile, special education students 96th, and low-income students 92nd in 2025–2026. Because those groups are small, their year-to-year swings should be read as multi-year trends rather than single-year results.
