Summary

Oak Creek East Middle is a grades 6–8 school in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, part of the Oak Creek-Franklin Joint School District, enrolling 935 students — one of the larger middle schools in the surrounding Milwaukee area. It earned 4 stars and ranked 148th of 643 Wisconsin middle schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 77th percentile.

Academically, Oak Creek East scored above the Wisconsin state average in every tested middle-grade subject, with averages of about 67.1% proficiency in English language arts and 68.4% in math — both essentially even with its district and far above the state. Math 6 (75.00) and Math 8 (70.18) are standout strengths, while Math 7 (59.87) is the clear relative weakness, below the district's 63.44 though still above the state's 55.67. Locally, the school sits in the upper-middle tier: Forest Park Middle (86th percentile) and same-district Oak Creek West Middle (81st percentile) rank higher, and Greendale Middle (75th) is close behind. Oak Creek East is in a different performance tier from Deer Creek Intermediate and the Milwaukee-area schools further down the list.

Subgroup results are a major bright spot: Hispanic students (92nd percentile), English language learners (95th), African American students (88th), multi-racial students (89th), and low-SES students (82nd) all rank well above the school's overall standing, with special education (51st) the relative weak point. Attendance and dropout are strong — 11.2% chronic absenteeism versus 17.3% statewide, and a 0.1% dropout rate — though Greendale (4.4%) and Forest Park (8.8%) have even lower absenteeism. Notably, Oak Creek East has the lowest per-student spending ($13,254) and highest student-teacher ratio (15.1) among nearby schools with data, yet still outperforms most of them, suggesting efficient use of resources even as the rising ratio is worth watching.
