Summary
Brookwood Middle is a PK–8 school in Genoa City, Wisconsin, serving about 213 students as part of the Genoa City J2 School District, a small southeastern Wisconsin community. Statewide, the school ranks in the bottom quartile — 761st of 1,039 schools, the 27th percentile, with 1 star in 2025–2026. That sits below most nearby schools: Randall Consolidated School is at the 82nd percentile with 4 stars, while Eastview Elementary, Central - Denison Elementary and Star Center Elementary (all Lake Geneva J1 School District), Riverview Elementary and Wheatland Center Elementary all rank higher. The school was much stronger in 2016–2017, reaching the 55th percentile, and its district ranks 346th of 432 districts.
Academics are mixed. Grade 8 is the clear bright spot: in 2025–2026, 8th graders performed at or above the state in ELA, math, social studies and science, and 6th grade ELA was also above state. ELA across tested grades runs close to the state average overall, but math lags badly, especially in the lower grades: 4th grade math was 27.03% proficient vs. 52.87% statewide, and 4th grade science 24.32% vs. 53.46%. Fifth and sixth grade math also fell well below state. For comparison, Randall Consolidated School posted 86.54% in 4th grade math and Eastview Elementary 73.15%, while Riverview Elementary reached 50%. The same-district Brookwood Elementary also shows below-state grade 3 math, pointing to a K–8 pattern rather than a middle-school-only issue.
Attendance has improved dramatically: chronic absenteeism fell from 44.2% in 2021–2022 to 14.9% in 2024–2025 — better than the state's 17.3%, but higher than nearly every nearby school, including Winkler Elementary at 0.5%, Central - Denison Elementary at 3.0% and Wheatland Center Elementary at 9.6%. Resources are relatively generous — $18,253 per student and a 9.9-to-1 student-teacher ratio, more spending and smaller classes than most neighbors, though results haven't followed. Poverty is moderate, at 30.52% free/reduced lunch, and some student groups, including low-income and special education students, show recent gains.
