Summary

Lake Geneva Middle is a public middle school in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, serving grades 6–8 with 551 students as part of the Lake Geneva J1 School District. It ranks in the 73rd percentile of Wisconsin middle schools with 4 stars — a clear step up from the 48th–57th percentile range it occupied from 2015–16 through 2018–19. Its district ranks 101st of 432 statewide.

Academically, the school outperformed the state in 7 of 8 tested Forward Exam areas in 2025–26. Averaged across grades 6–8, ELA proficiency was 64.3% and math 66.7%, with 8th-grade social studies at 72.5%. Eighth-grade science is the weak spot: 50.3% proficient, slightly below the state's 51.86%, and down from 62.14% in 2023–24. Among nearby schools, Karcher Middle School ranks higher overall (82nd percentile) with a similar poverty rate, and Fox River Middle (75th percentile) posts stronger science and social studies results. Lake Geneva Middle still outperforms East Troy Middle, Elkhorn Area Middle, Williams Bay Middle, and Phoenix Middle in most core subjects. Eighth-grade results dipped in most subjects in 2025–26, while 6th- and 7th-grade math improved.

Attendance is a standout strength: chronic absenteeism was 6.1% in 2024–25, far below the state's 17.3% and lower than most nearby middle schools. The school ranks 82nd percentile for lower-income students, a relative strength, but only 13th percentile (1 star) for English Language Learners — the clearest equity gap to examine. Special education effectiveness has also slipped from 87th to 60th percentile over three years. Per-pupil spending was $16,086 in 2024–25, above several neighbors, with a student-teacher ratio of 13.3.
