Summary

Laconia Middle School is a small public school in Rosendale, Wisconsin, serving about 179 students in grades 6 through 8 as part of the Rosendale-Brandon School District, which ranks 49th of 432 districts statewide. The school ranked 112th of 643 Wisconsin middle schools in 2025–2026 (83rd percentile, 4 stars), a clear rebound from the 58th–60th percentile range it held in 2021–2023 and a return to the top quartile.

Academics are the school's strongest selling point. On 2025–2026 Forward Exams, Laconia scored above the state average in every subject and grade reported, averaging roughly 70.0% proficient versus about 55.5% statewide. Science 8 stood out at 78.95% proficient against 51.86% statewide (a +27.09 point gap), followed by Math 7 and Math 8 (about +18 to +19 points higher than state) and Social Studies 8 (+14.32). English language arts is solid but less dominant. Among nearby schools, only Oakfield Middle (56th) and Traeger Middle (48th) ranked higher; Laconia finished ahead of Ripon Middle (126th), Markesan Middle (235th), and several others.

Other notable strengths include chronic absenteeism of just 3.3% in 2024–2025, far below the 17.3% state rate, and top-decile effectiveness for special education students (9th of 439 schools, 98th percentile, 5 stars) and low-income students (33rd of 513, 94th percentile, 5 stars). Laconia spends less per student ($12,861) than every nearby school while still producing strong results. With only 179 students, year-to-year swings can be magnified, and ELA performance plus a recent Math 8 dip are worth watching.
