Summary

Little Chute Middle is a public middle school in Little Chute, WI — a Fox Valley community near Appleton — serving grades 7–8 with 214 students as part of the Little Chute Area School District, which ranks 83rd of 432 districts statewide (81st percentile, 4 stars). The school itself ranked 119th of 643 Wisconsin middle schools in 2025–26, placing it in the 81st percentile with 4 stars. That is a modest dip from 2024–25's 89th percentile, but it caps a dramatic long-term turnaround: in 2015–16 the school ranked 410th of 609, just 33rd percentile with 2 stars.

Every reported grade-level proficiency rate was above the state average in 2025–26: 7th grade ELA 61.46% and 8th grade ELA 71.28%; 7th grade math 62.5% and 8th grade math 69.15%; 8th grade social studies 81.91%; and 8th grade science 67.02%. Among nearby schools, Gerritts Middle is the main academic peer that outranks Little Chute (42nd of 643, 93rd percentile, 5 stars) and is clearly stronger in math — 8th grade 80.27% and 7th grade 84.06%. Little Chute, however, edges Gerritts in 8th grade science (67.02% vs. 65.87%) and holds its own in 8th ELA and social studies. River View School is mixed: stronger in math and 7th ELA, weaker in 8th ELA, social studies, and science. 7th grade is Little Chute's softer spot — 7th ELA fell from 81.05% to 61.46% year over year. Odyssey-Magellan posts perfect scores but appears to be a magnet or specialized program rather than a typical neighborhood peer.

The standout strength is low-income student performance: the low-SES subgroup ranked 91st percentile with 5 stars in 2025–26, and 95th–96th percentile with 5 stars the two years before, even though 37.85% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch — a higher rate than Gerritts (17.21%) or Einstein Middle (28.91%). Special education students improved to 79th percentile, 4 stars. English Language Learners are the clearest concern at 13th percentile, 1 star in 2024–25. The dropout rate was 0.0%, and chronic absenteeism improved to 12.6% in 2024–25 — below the state's 17.3% and slightly above the district's 12.1%, though higher than Kimberly's nearby schools such as Woodland Intermediate (5.7%).
