Summary
Edgerton Middle is a grades 6–8 school serving 413 students in Edgerton, Wisconsin, part of the Edgerton School District. In 2025–2026 it ranked 122nd of 643 Wisconsin middle schools — the 81st percentile, with 4 stars — while its district placed 120th of 432, making the school a relative bright spot locally. The trend is strongly positive: Edgerton Middle sat in the 47th percentile with 2 stars in 2016–2017, then reached the 70th percentile in 2018–2019, 72nd in 2023–2024, 82nd in 2024–2025, and 81st in 2025–2026.
Test scores are above the state average in nearly every subject, with grade 8 as the clear high point. Eighth-grade proficiency reached 74.07% in math, 80.74% in social studies, 65.93% in science, and 68.15% in ELA — each the highest among nearby schools and well above state figures. Seventh-grade ELA was 79.20%, essentially tied with Fort Atkinson Middle (79.45%) and ahead of Deerfield Middle, Milton Middle, J C McKenna Middle, River Bluff Middle, and Edison Middle. The main soft spot is 6th-grade math at 53.57%, right at the state's 53.60% but behind River Bluff Middle, Northside Intermediate, Fort Atkinson, J C McKenna, and Marshall Middle — worth monitoring, since math results improve sharply by grade 8.
Attendance is the school's signature strength: chronic absenteeism was 2.4% in 2024–2025, versus 5.2% in the district and 17.3% statewide, and lower than every nearby school listed. The dropout rate was 0.0% across five reported years. Resources are moderate — $15,848 per student and a 14.1:1 student-teacher ratio, less than Fort Atkinson Middle ($19,162, 10.7:1) and Franklin Middle ($18,203, 9.8:1), yet with strong outcomes. Measured as school effectiveness rather than student capability, recent subgroup rankings are strongest for English learners, Hispanic students, male students, special education students, and low-SES students. One caveat: some comparisons span different grade ranges, since Deerfield Middle and Milton Middle serve grades 7–8 and Northside Intermediate serves grades 4–6.
