Summary

Coleman Middle is a small public school serving 142 students in grades 6–8 in Coleman, Wisconsin, part of the Coleman School District. In 2025–2026 it ranked 270th of 643 Wisconsin middle schools (58th percentile, 3 stars), and its district ranked 208th of 432 (52nd percentile, 3 stars). That places the school above the state median, though it is a step down from its own recent past: it held 4 stars and the 78th percentile for three straight years and peaked at 5 stars and the 90th percentile in 2021–2022.

Among six nearby middle schools, Coleman's 2025–26 rank is second only to Oconto Falls Middle School, and its district rank is second as well. Its standout results come in 8th grade: 75% proficient in science (compared with 51.86% statewide and the highest among the nearby schools), 72.73% in social studies, and 68.18% in math. Seventh grade English language arts is also solid at 66%. The clearest weak spot is 6th grade math, where 34.38% of students were proficient — nearly 20 points below the state and below Gillett Middle, Oconto Middle, and Oconto Falls. Sixth grade ELA, at 48.44%, is likewise below the state average.

Attendance and stability are real strengths. Coleman's chronic absenteeism rate was 7.7% in 2024–25, well under the state's 17.3% and comparable to most nearby schools, and its dropout rate has been essentially zero. The school also spent $11,985 per student in 2024–25 — the least among the nearby schools — with a student-teacher ratio of 14.0, yet still finished second in the group overall. Subgroup results are mixed: students from low-income families performed at the 66th percentile and male students at the 68th, while female-student effectiveness slipped to the 50th percentile and special education to the 45th.
