With 258 students, the school has seen its statewide ranking fluctuate over the past decade, ranging from a high of 69th out of 579 Wisconsin middle schools in 2017-2018 to a low of 434th out of 613 in 2020-2021.

Pardeeville Middle's test scores on the Forward Exam are generally below the state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 36.73% to 65.57% across different grade levels and subjects, compared to the state averages of 51.26% to 62.51%. However, the school has had relatively low dropout rates, ranging from 0.0% to 4.4% over the past few years, which is comparable to or better than the nearby schools like Markesan Middle and Lodi Middle. Pardeeville Middle has also experienced higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 7.4% to 19.5% in recent years, which is generally higher than the nearby schools.

Compared to the nearby middle schools, Pardeeville Middle generally performs worse on test scores, with lower proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school's higher rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 31.64% to 35.25% in recent years, may suggest that it serves a more economically disadvantaged population, which could impact its academic performance. Addressing these challenges and improving academic outcomes should be a priority for the school and the Pardeeville Area School District.
