Summary
Ozaukee Middle is a grades 6–8 school in Fredonia, WI, serving 174 students in the Northern Ozaukee School District. In 2025–2026 it ranked 113th of 643 Wisconsin middle schools — 82nd percentile, 4 stars — well above its district's 63rd percentile, 3 stars. That is a long climb from the 58th percentile in 2015–2016; the school sat in the 85th–91st percentile range for most of the past five years, including a 5-star year in 2021–2022. The 2025–2026 result is a slight dip from 2024–2025's 89th percentile, but still solidly above state average.
Grade 8 is the academic high point: ELA proficiency is 80.7%, math 73.68%, social studies 78.95%, and science 66.67% — all above district and state. Grade 8 ELA beats Kewaskum Middle, Cedar Grove-Belgium Middle, John Long Middle, Thomas Jefferson Middle, and Badger Middle, though it trails Lake Shore Middle, Webster Middle, and Oostburg Middle. Special education is an exceptional strength: that subgroup ranks 15th of 439 statewide — 97th percentile, 5 stars — and has improved three years running, while low-income students rank in the 79th percentile. Remarkably, Ozaukee spends $9,491 per student, the lowest among nearby schools, yet still outperforms the state.
Two areas deserve attention. Math in grades 6 and 7 is above state (60 and 63.16) but far behind top neighbors such as Oostburg, Webster, and Lake Shore. Chronic absenteeism is the clearest warning sign at 14.5% in 2024–2025 — below the state's 17.3% and above the district's 10.8%, but higher than every nearby school in the comparison group, and up from 4.0% two years earlier. With only 174 students, single-year swings should be read with caution.
