Summary

Dodgeland Middle is a 6–8 school in Juneau, WI, serving 140 students in the Dodgeland School District, a small Dodge County community between Madison and Milwaukee. One of the most striking facts is the gap between school and district: the Dodgeland School District ranks 349th of 432 Wisconsin districts (19th percentile, 1 star), while Dodgeland Middle ranked 321st of 643 middle schools in 2025–2026 (50th percentile, 3 stars). The long-term trend is positive — from the 20th percentile in 2015–2016 to the 50th–56th range in recent years, with a dip to the 40th percentile in 2024–2025 and a rebound in 2025–2026. About 50% of students were eligible for free or reduced lunch in 2024–2025, the highest rate among nearby comparison schools.

Chronic absenteeism is the clearest red flag. It reached 25.0% in 2024–2025, up from 18.5% the year before and 10.5% in 2020–2021. That is well above the district's 17.6% and the state's 17.3%, and far above most nearby schools — Lomira Middle at 6.4%, Columbus Middle at 6.3%, Honor Intermediate at 8.4%, and Horicon Middle School at 8.8%. Only Central Middle is comparable at 26.1%. Missing this much school likely limits instructional time, especially in reading.

Academically, math and science are relative strengths and English language arts is soft. In 2025–2026, 8th grade math proficiency was 62.79% versus 53.67% statewide, and 8th grade science was 53.49% versus 51.86%. ELA fell below the state in 6th, 7th, and 8th grades, and social studies was slightly below. The school looks comparatively effective with higher-need students: low-income students ranked in the 77th percentile with 4 stars, and special education students in the 61st percentile with 3 stars. The ranking for White students, however, has sat in the 20th–28th percentile with 1 star for three straight years — worth asking about. Resources look favorable, with a student-teacher ratio of 11.8 and $14,284 per student. Beaver Dam Middle is a useful peer, with nearly identical poverty and spending but a lower overall rank.
