Summary

Etude Middle is a small grades 6–8 school at 843 Jefferson Ave in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, serving 77 students as part of the Sheboygan Area School District. In 2025–2026 it ranked 444th of 643 Wisconsin middle schools (31st percentile, 2 stars), while the district itself ranks 343rd of 432 districts statewide (21st percentile, 1 star).

Etude holds the best statewide rank among Sheboygan Area middle schools — ahead of Horace Mann Middle, Urban Middle, Farnsworth Middle, and George D Warriner Middle — but the whole district cluster sits in the bottom third of the state. Nearby suburban schools are dramatically higher: Kohler Middle (99th percentile), Oostburg Middle (98th), Cedar Grove-Belgium Middle (93rd), Howards Grove Middle (91st), Riverview Middle (73rd), and Sheboygan Falls Middle (53rd). The biggest red flag is chronic absenteeism: 40.3% in 2024–2025, nearly double the district rate (21.5%) and more than double the state rate (17.3%), and far above every nearby suburban school. Free/reduced lunch eligibility also rose sharply, from 48.91% in 2022–2023 to 66.23% in 2024–2025.

Academically, results vary by grade. Etude beat the district in 6th grade ELA (64.29%) and math (53.33%), 8th grade math (47.06%), and 8th grade science (47.06%), with 6th grade ELA above the state mark. But 7th grade math (36.84%) and 8th grade ELA (35.29%) were low, and most scores trail the state. With only 77 students, a few students can swing results by 10–20 points, so year-to-year changes should be read cautiously. Male students ranked near the state median (51st percentile) in 2025–2026, while female students were in the bottom quarter (24th); low-income students improved to the 36th percentile but remain below median. Etude spends $13,736 per student — less than its same-district peers — with a 13.7 student-teacher ratio. Its 2024–2025 dropout rate was 1.9%, above district (1.7%) and state (1.1%).
