Summary
Randolph Middle School is a small public middle school in Randolph, WI, serving 117 students in grades 6–8 as part of the Randolph School District. The district ranks 185th of 432 Wisconsin districts (57th percentile, 3 stars), while the school ranked 381st of 643 schools in 2025–26 (41st percentile, 2 stars), after peaking in 2023–24. It is the smallest school among nearby comparisons, including Dodgeland Middle, Markesan Middle, Columbus Middle, Pardeeville Middle, and Beaver Dam Middle. Reported dropout is 0.0%, chronic absenteeism is 17.7% in 2024–25, per-student spending is $17,026, the highest among nearby schools, and the student-teacher ratio is 13.7.
On 2025–26 Forward Exam results, English Language Arts is below the state in all three grades, and grade 7 ELA is the lowest among the nearby schools. Math is mixed: grade 6 is slightly above the state, but grades 7 and 8 are below the state and rank lowest among nearby comparisons, with grade 8 math especially weak. Grade 8 science is above the state average, and social studies is essentially at the state average. An unofficial average across eight tested areas is about 51.2%, below the state average of about 55.5% and below Pardeeville Middle, Columbus Middle, Markesan Middle, and Dodgeland Middle, while above Beaver Dam Middle. Because enrollment is only 117, small cohort changes can shift percentages, so multi-year trends matter more than one-year swings.
Attendance is a relative challenge: chronic absenteeism of 17.7% is above the district’s 14.6% and near the state’s 17.3%, much higher than Pardeeville Middle (10.0%), Columbus Middle (6.3%), and Markesan Middle (6.2%), similar to Beaver Dam Middle (17.5%), and lower than Dodgeland Middle (25.0%). State group-level ratings show female students at the 61st percentile, male students at the 26th, special education students at the 72nd with 4 stars, and low socioeconomic status students at the 48th, down from 65th. Positives include a 0.0% dropout rate, science above state, social studies at state average, and strong special education results. Main areas to watch are ELA across grades, math in grades 7–8, attendance, and the male-student gap.
