Summary

Grantsburg Middle is a grade 4–8 school in Grantsburg, Wisconsin, serving 278 students as part of the Grantsburg School District, in a small northwest Wisconsin community where the next-closest middle schools are roughly 16 to 17 miles away.

The school is a relative bright spot in its district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 222 of 643 Wisconsin middle schools (65th percentile, 3 stars), down slightly from 138 of 628 (78th percentile, 4 stars) in 2024–2025. Its district ranks 302 of 432 (30th percentile, 2 stars), so the middle school outperforms the district overall. It also outranks nearby Luck Middle (296 of 643) and Webster Middle (387 of 643), and it does so while spending less per student — $13,603 versus $15,757 at Luck and $15,576 at Webster in 2024–2025.

On 2025–2026 Forward Exam results, Grantsburg was above the state average in 12 of 14 reported exams, with particular strength in 4th-grade math (75.41%), 4th-grade social studies (80.33%), 7th-grade math (69.81%), and 8th-grade social studies (78.95%) and science (61.40%). The exception was 6th grade, where both ELA (44.83%) and math (46.55%) fell below state — though 6th grade had scored near 69% in both subjects the year before. Other groups do well: special education students ranked in the 77th percentile and low-income students in the 70th percentile in 2025–2026. Watch items include chronic absenteeism (14.5%, above the district's 6.0% but below the state's 17.3%), a male-student dip to the 49th percentile, and a 2.5% dropout rate.
