Summary

Fox West Academy is a small public middle school serving grades 6–8 with 65 students in Hortonville, Wisconsin, part of the Hortonville Area School District in the Fox Valley near Appleton. Despite its size, Fox West Academy ranks among the top middle schools in the state: in 2025–2026 it placed 72nd of 643 middle schools (89th percentile, 4 stars), after 66th of 628 the prior year, also 89th percentile and 4 stars. That followed a 2023–2024 dip to 248th of 641 (61st percentile, 3 stars), so results are high but somewhat variable from year to year.

Test scores are a clear strength. In 2025–2026, proficiency was above the state in every reported area: ELA 71.4–76.2%, math 66.7–81.0%, social studies 76.2%, and science 65.0%. The district itself is strong, so Fox West competes with excellent peers — that same year Greenville Middle ranked 62nd and Hortonville Middle 58th, slightly ahead. Fox West still led Hortonville Middle in 7th-grade ELA (76.19% vs. 64.71%) and 8th-grade math (75.00% vs. 72.97%). Compared with most nearby schools, including Maplewood Middle, Kaleidoscope Academy, and Wilson Middle, Fox West scores substantially higher, though Odyssey-Magellan sits in a different tier at 2nd of 643 statewide.

Attendance is a standout: chronic absenteeism was 0.0% in 2024–2025 versus 17.3% statewide, and the dropout rate was 0.0%. Notably, Fox West achieves these results while spending $5,796 per student — far below same-district peers Greenville Middle ($11,761) and Hortonville Middle ($14,266) — and it has the highest student-teacher ratio (21.6) among nearby schools. Its free/reduced lunch rate (12.31%) is lower than most surrounding schools. Keep in mind that the small enrollment can make year-to-year numbers jumpy, and performance varies by subject.
