Summary

Cuba City Middle is the only middle school in the Cuba City School District, serving 129 students in grades 6 through 8 (about 43 per grade) in Cuba City, a small community in southwestern Wisconsin's Grant County area.

The most important thing to know is that the school's long run of strong results was interrupted in 2025–2026. For six straight measured years, Cuba City Middle sat at the 74th–81st percentile with 4 stars; in 2025–2026 it fell to the 58th percentile and 3 stars, roughly 23 percentile points and about 150 rank positions. The drop is not school-wide: 7th and 8th grade reading held or improved, and the weakness is concentrated in a low-scoring incoming 6th grade and a math slide in the upper grades (8th grade math went from 91.18% to 82.05% to 56.52% over three years). Eighth-grade social studies is the steadiest strength, staying between 75% and 85.29% for four years against state rates of 59–65%. Non-academic indicators look healthy, with a 0.0% dropout rate in four of the last five years and 7.6% chronic absenteeism in 2024–25 — less than half the state's 17.3% — though Potosi Middle (3.0%) fares better. The school also serves its low-income students well, ranking at the 77th percentile for low socioeconomic status students in 2025–26, above its own overall 58th percentile.

Compared with nearby middle schools, Cuba City spends the least per student ($14,232) while posting results in the top tier of the small rural schools, and it has far lower absenteeism than the group's highest-ranked school, Platteville Middle (85th percentile, 23.8% chronic absenteeism). Benton Middle matches Cuba City's results, while Shullsburg Junior High and Southwestern Wisconsin Community Middle rank below it. One subgroup trend to watch: female students rank at the 80th–95th percentile while male students have slipped from the 62nd to the 58th to the 33rd percentile. Keep in mind that with about 43 students per grade, one student shifts a grade-level rate by roughly 2.3 percentage points, so some swings reflect small cohorts.
