Better than 93% of Wisconsin middle schools

Summary

Gerritts Middle is a grades 7–8 school serving 802 students in Kimberly, Wisconsin, part of the Kimberly Area School District, and in 2025–2026 it ranked 42nd of 643 middle schools statewide (93rd percentile, 5 stars). Its standing is not a one-year spike: the school has hovered in the 89th–96th percentile for years, and its dropout rate is effectively zero (0.0% in recent years, 0.1% in 2023–2024) compared with a state rate of 1.1–1.5%. Those results make Gerritts a major contributor to its district's 91st-percentile, 5-star state ranking.

Forward Exam proficiency is well above state averages in every tested subject: ELA 7 at 80.29% (state 55.33%), Math 7 at 84.06% (state 55.67%), ELA 8 at 74.4%, Math 8 at 80.27%, Social Studies 8 at 82.4% (state 64.63%), and Science 8 at 65.87% (state 51.86%). Gerritts leads nearby middle schools such as Einstein Middle, Wilson Middle, Madison Middle, Kaleidoscope Academy, and River View School in ELA, math, and social studies. Science is the relative lag: Little Chute Middle edges Gerritts 67.02% to 65.87%, though Gerritts improved sharply from 57.07% the prior year.

Context matters: about 17% of students were economically disadvantaged (17.21%), per-student spending was $13,202, and the student-teacher ratio was 15.5—less spending and larger classes than most nearby schools, yet stronger results. Chronic absenteeism was 10.6%, better than the state's 17.3% but above Woodland Intermediate (5.7%) and Mapleview Intermediate (8.5%). Effectiveness rankings for most groups are high, including students with disabilities (88th percentile in 2025–2026) and low-income students (84th). English learners ranked 46th percentile in 2024–2025—up from 12th—the clearest area for continued growth.
