Summary

Spring Valley Middle is a small public middle school in Spring Valley, WI, serving grades 6–8 with 140 students as part of the Spring Valley School District. In 2025–2026, it ranked 85th of 643 Wisconsin middle schools—the 87th percentile with 4 stars—while its district ranked 55th of 432 districts, also the 87th percentile with 4 stars. This is a sustained improvement: after ranking in the 39th percentile in 2015–2016, the school has stayed in the top 10–13% in each of the last four reported years, with the latest rank slightly below 2024–2025 but still firmly top-tier.

Academically, Spring Valley Middle exceeded Wisconsin’s proficiency rate in every reported subject and grade on the 2025–2026 Forward Exam. Math and English language arts are especially strong: 7th-grade math was 85.71%, nearly 30 points above the state, and all three math grades were above 70% while all three ELA grades were above 60%. Compared with nearby schools, Spring Valley had the highest 6th- and 7th-grade math results among the listed middle schools, and it was near the top in ELA. Chronic absenteeism was just 6.3% in 2024–2025, far below Wisconsin’s 17.3% and lower than most nearby schools, including Menomonie Middle (18.8%), Viking Middle (12.5%), and Glenwood City Middle (12.1%).

The school also stands out for how well it serves specific groups. Its low-SES effectiveness ranking was 92nd percentile in 2025–2026 and 96th percentile in 2024–2025, even though 25.71% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025. The latest special-education subgroup rank, from 2024–2025, was 74th percentile, indicating above-average effectiveness.
