Summary
Kewaunee Middle serves 185 students in grades 6–8 in Kewaunee, Wisconsin, and is part of the Kewaunee School District. It ranks 419th of 643 Wisconsin middle schools in 2025–26 (35th percentile, 2 stars), and its district ranks 246th of 432 (43rd percentile, 2 stars). It is the smallest of its nearby peers: it sits above Clarke Middle (27th percentile, 1 star) but below Denmark Middle (66th, 3 stars), Mishicot Middle (65th, 3 stars), and Luxemburg-Casco Middle (85th, 4 stars). Its overall rank has stayed in the low-to-mid 30s percentile for four years — stable rather than clearly improving.
Test scores are mostly below state averages, with 8th grade the clearest pressure point. In 2025–26, Kewaunee 8th graders were 37.50% proficient in math — 16 points below the state's 53.67% and the lowest of the five compared schools — plus 42.86% in English language arts (state: 54.38%) and 50.00% in social studies (state: 64.63%). Eighth grade math has slipped from 55% to 41.67% to 37.50% over three years. Science is a relative bright spot at 51.79%, essentially matching the state's 51.86%. Seventh grade math (55.36%) is near the state's 55.67%. Because the school is small, single-year swings can be sharp, so the broad pattern matters more than any one year.
Attendance beats the state but not the top local peers: chronic absenteeism was 9.3% in 2024–25, about half Wisconsin's 17.3% and well below Clarke's 14.1%, but higher than Denmark (4.5%), Luxemburg-Casco (6.9%), and Mishicot (7.3%). Kewaunee spends $16,151 per student — the most among these schools — with a 10.3 student-teacher ratio (second-lowest in the group), and 37.84% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Effectiveness rankings vary widely by student group: special education students (69th percentile) and low-income students (65th percentile) improved sharply in 2025–26, while female students (29th percentile) rank below male students (45th), and the school's rating for its White student subgroup has been in the 13th–22nd percentile for three years.
