Summary

New Holstein Middle is a grades 6–8 school serving 235 students in the small northeast Wisconsin community of New Holstein, part of the New Holstein School District. It ranked 82nd of 643 Wisconsin middle schools in 2025–2026 — the 87th percentile, with 4 stars — and has climbed steadily from about the 61st percentile in 2020–2021, a gain of roughly 26 percentile points over five years.

On the 2025–2026 Forward Exam, the school scored above the state average in every tested subject and grade. ELA proficiency ranged from about 61% to 74%, math topped 70% in all three grades, 8th-grade social studies reached 83.12% against the state's 64.63%, and science was 68.83% versus 51.86% statewide. Among nearby middle schools, Kiel Middle, Brillion Middle, and Howards Grove Middle rank slightly higher at the 91st percentile, while New Holstein sits just behind them at 87th, ahead of Riverview Middle, Hilbert Middle, Chilton Middle, Woodworth Middle, Valders Middle, and Stockbridge Middle.

Chronic absenteeism was 3.0% in 2024–2025 — the lowest of any nearby school, and well below the district's 6.1% and the state's 17.3%. The school also stands out for how well it serves groups that often lag elsewhere: economically disadvantaged students rank 21st of 513 schools statewide (96th percentile, 5 stars), and special education students rank at the 87th percentile. Those results come with a 24.68% free/reduced lunch rate and per-student spending of $14,219, both mid-range locally, and the New Holstein School District ranks 62nd of 432 districts — the highest among nearby districts.
