Summary

Edgar Middle is a small rural middle school in Edgar, Wisconsin, serving grades 6–8 with about 120 students, which makes it one of the smallest schools in its area. In 2025–2026 it ranked 80th of 643 Wisconsin middle schools — the 88th percentile with a 4-star rating — and its district, Edgar School District, ranked 74th of 432 districts statewide. That is the highest ranking among nearby schools, ahead of Stratford Middle, Mosinee Middle and Colby Middle. The school has also climbed steadily over the past decade, from the 42nd percentile in 2017–2018.

Academics are strong across the board. Edgar scored above the state average in every grade and subject reported for 2025–2026, with standout results in 7th grade English language arts (85.0% vs. 55.3% statewide), 8th grade social studies (89.5% vs. 64.6%), and 6th and 7th grade math (80.0% and 75.0%). The one relative soft spot is 8th grade math, at 55.3% — only slightly above the state and below Stratford, Mosinee and Marathon Venture Academy. The school also stands out for how well it serves specific student groups: in 2024–2025 its special education students ranked 1st of 414 schools, and low-income students ranked in the 82nd percentile in 2025–2026.

Chronic absenteeism was 12.4% in 2024–2025 — better than the state's 17.3%, but higher than Stratford (5.0%), Athens Middle (5.6%) and Mosinee (9.3%), and up from 9.4% the year before. Resources look favorable: Edgar spends $15,625 per student and has a student-teacher ratio of 11.8, the lowest among nearby schools. With only about 120 students, year-to-year numbers can swing, so the recent gains are worth watching over time.
