Summary

Kohler Middle is a grade 6–8 school with 168 students in the village of Kohler, Wisconsin, part of the Kohler School District, which ranks 8th of 432 Wisconsin districts (98th percentile, 5 stars). The school itself is one of the state's top middle schools: in 2025-2026 it ranked 7th of 643 middle schools (99th percentile, 5 stars), and its history shows this is not a one-year spike — it has stayed in the top 10% statewide for the past decade. The only notable dip in the available history was 2017-2018, when it ranked 130th of 579.

Academically, 2025-2026 Forward Exam proficiency was far above state averages. In 8th grade, ELA proficiency was 91.23%, math 84.21%, and science and social studies both 92.98% — roughly 41 points above the state in science and about 28 points above in social studies. Among nearby schools, Oostburg Middle is the closest competitor (87.14% in both ELA and math, and slightly ahead in math), with 85.71% in social studies and 78.57% in science. Cedar Grove-Belgium Middle posted 76.12% in ELA and 74.63% in science, Howards Grove Middle 66.67% in ELA and math, and Sheboygan Falls Middle 52.04% in science. Kohler's clearest edge locally is in 8th-grade science and social studies.

Engagement indicators are equally strong: chronic absenteeism was 2.4% in 2024-2025, tied with Oostburg for the lowest among nearby schools and far below the state's 17.3%, while the dropout rate was 0.0%. The free/reduced-lunch rate was about 1.8% in the two most recent reported years; the 2024-2025 figure is not reported here and should not be treated as zero. Kohler spent $11,990 per student in 2024-2025 — less than most nearby schools — with a student-teacher ratio of 16, the highest locally, so results come without top-tier local spending or staffing levels.
