Summary

Hortonville Middle is a public middle school in Hortonville, Wisconsin, serving 464 students in grades 5–8 as part of the Hortonville Area School District. In 2025–2026 it ranks 58th out of 643 Wisconsin middle schools — the 91st percentile with 5 stars — placing it among the top schools in the state and second only to Odyssey-Magellan among nearby schools. Among comparable middle schools, it is essentially tied with Greenville Middle at the top of the local group and clearly ahead of New London Middle, Einstein Middle, Maplewood Middle, Kaleidoscope Academy, Wilson Middle, and Fremont STEM Academy Inc.

Test results are above the state in every reported subject and grade. Averaging 2025–2026 results, around 72% of students were proficient versus roughly 55% statewide, with science and social studies the standout strengths: 8th grade social studies at 83.78% (state 64.63%) and 8th grade science at 78.38% (state 51.86%). Eighth grade is strong across the board. The main area to watch is 5th grade: ELA at 62.83% and math at 59.29% — still above state averages, but below district averages, and 5th grade math has declined from 77.57% in 2023–2024 to 59.29% in 2025–2026. ELA in grades 5–7 also trails the district.

Attendance and completion results are excellent: chronic absenteeism was 5.3% in 2024–2025, far below Wisconsin's 17.3%, and the dropout rate was 0.0%. The school spends $14,266 per student with a 12.5:1 student-teacher ratio — more than Greenville Middle's and less than several nearby schools serving more low-income students. Subgroup rankings are a major strength: special education students rank in the 93rd percentile, female students 92nd, and low-income and male students 85th. The school has climbed steadily from 308/612 in 2016–2017 to 58/643 today, suggesting sustained improvement rather than a one-year spike.
