Summary
East Troy Middle is a grades 6–8 school with 316 students in East Troy, WI, part of the East Troy Community School District in southeastern Wisconsin. In 2025–2026, the school ranked 295th of 643 Wisconsin middle schools—the 54th percentile with 3 stars—while its district ranked 70th percentile with 4 stars. That places the school below its district’s overall standing and in the middle of its regional peer group: it trails Kettle Moraine Middle, Lake Denoon Middle, Park View Middle, Karcher Middle School, Fox River Middle, and Lake Geneva Middle, is roughly similar to Elkhorn Area Middle, and is ahead of Williams Bay Middle, Palmyra-Eagle Middle, and Phoenix Middle. The school has improved since the mid-2010s, but it has slipped from a 66th-percentile peak in 2022–2023.
Test scores are mixed by grade and subject. Seventh-grade math is a clear strength: 72.92% proficient, 17.25 points above the state. Social studies has also been consistently above state. However, eighth-grade science is the clearest weakness at 45.05% proficient, 6.81 points below state, and it has been below state for three straight years; it is lower than most nearby schools. Sixth-grade ELA and math were slightly below state in 2025–2026, and eighth-grade math also fell below state, while seventh-grade ELA and eighth-grade ELA were at or above state. Overall, the school’s academic results are solid but uneven rather than uniformly strong.
Chronic absenteeism has improved significantly, from 20.3% in 2021–2022 to 8.7% in 2024–2025, below both its district and the state (17.3%), though some nearby schools remain lower. The dropout rate was 0.0% from 2020–2021 through 2024–2025. Resources are relatively favorable: the school spent $16,902 per student in 2024–2025 and had a student–teacher ratio of 11.1, the second-lowest among nearby peers, yet its rank remains mid-pack. Subgroup effectiveness is uneven: special education students ranked 78th percentile in 2025–2026, up sharply from 19th percentile, while low-SES results have fluctuated. Bottom line: East Troy Middle is a mid-pack school with notable strengths in seventh-grade math, chronic absenteeism improvement, and small classes, but eighth-grade science and inconsistent grade-level performance are areas to watch.
