Kewaskum Middle students consistently outperform the state average on the Forward Exam, with significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, 74.83% of 7th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 53.59%. The school also maintains very low dropout rates, ranging from 0.5% to 1.3% over the past few years, which is significantly lower than the state average. However, the school's performance for special education students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds is more average, ranking in the middle to lower half of the state.
Compared to nearby middle schools like Slinger Middle, Ozaukee Middle, and Campbellsport Middle, Kewaskum Middle consistently outperforms them in academic achievement. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined from 45th in 2017-2018 to 93rd in 2024-2025, potentially due to improvements in other schools or changes in Kewaskum Middle's own performance. Additionally, the school has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism rates in recent years, reaching 19.5% in 2022-2023, which is an area of concern that the school and district should address.
