Kromrey Middle consistently ranks among the top middle schools in Wisconsin, currently at 63 out of 628 schools for the 2024-2025 school year. The school's strong academic performance is evident in its students' high proficiency rates on the Forward Exam, particularly in Social Studies and Science, where 8th-grade students outperform the state averages. Kromrey Middle also excels in supporting the academic achievement of Asian, White, and Special Education students, though its performance for Hispanic and English Language Learner students is relatively lower.

While Kromrey Middle's dropout rates are low, and its student-teacher ratio is slightly better than the state average, the school's chronic absenteeism rates, though improving, remain relatively high. Compared to nearby schools, Kromrey Middle's academic performance is generally stronger than those in the Madison Metropolitan School District, but similar to Glacier Creek Middle, another school in the Middleton-Cross Plains Area School District, as well as Waunakee Middle in the Waunakee Community School District.
