Summary

Lake Denoon Middle is a grades 5–8 school serving 673 students in Muskego, Wisconsin, part of the Muskego-Norway School District, which ranks 23rd of 432 Wisconsin districts and earns 5 stars. The school itself has landed in the top 5–10% of Wisconsin middle schools for years, placing 30th of 643 in 2025–26 with 5 stars, and its dropout rate is 0.0%.

Among nearby schools, Lake Denoon keeps elite company. Only Muskego Lakes Middle (26th of 643) ranks higher; Park View Middle is 41st, while Forest Park Middle, Whitnall Middle, Les Paul Middle, Greendale Middle, and Fox River Middle fall between 86th and 96th. Butler Middle, Horning Middle, and Frank Lloyd Wright Intermediate rank much lower. Math is the signature strength: 2025–26 proficiency runs from 81.76% in grade 5 to 89.68% in grade 8, and Math 8's 89.68% tops every nearby school, including Muskego Lakes (85.71%) and Park View (82.40%).

Science is the relative soft spot. Grade 8 science proficiency of 67.10% is still about 15 points above the state, but below the district's 70.21% and below Park View and Muskego Lakes. Subgroup results are broadly strong — Hispanic students rank 8th of 236 statewide — with Special Education the one trend to watch, slipping from the 88th to the 83rd to the 73rd percentile. Chronic absenteeism is 10.3%, lower than the state's 17.3% but above the district's 8.9% and Muskego Lakes' 9.2%.
