Summary

Superior Middle is a 6–8 school in Superior, WI, serving 888 students as part of the Superior School District, making it a relatively large middle school. In 2025–2026, the school ranked 391 of 643 in Wisconsin (39th percentile, 2 stars), while its district ranked 230 of 432 (47th percentile, 2 stars). The only nearby school in the data is Northwestern Middle, about 18.1 miles away in the Maple School District; it serves grades 6–8 and enrolls 289 students. Northwestern is smaller and higher-ranked, at 220 of 643 (66th percentile, 3 stars), with its district at 179 of 432 (59th percentile, 3 stars).

Superior Middle has improved from 22nd percentile in 2022–2023 to 39th in 2025–2026, though it remains below the state median and below Northwestern Middle. Math is the clearest weakness: proficiency is roughly 13–16 percentage points below the state in all three grades, while Northwestern Middle is 7–20 points above. English language arts is stronger: Superior Middle is close to the state in grades 6 and 8 and above the state in grade 7, and its 8th grade ELA score surpassed the 8th grade ELA score at Northwestern Middle. Eighth grade social studies is above both the state and Northwestern Middle, and 8th grade science is slightly below the state but slightly above Northwestern Middle. Because student groups change yearly, these comparisons should be read with caution.

Resources and context help explain the picture. Superior Middle spends $15,857 per student (2024–2025) compared with $12,406 at Northwestern Middle, and its student-teacher ratio is lower (13.4 vs. 17.6). At the same time, Superior Middle serves a higher free/reduced lunch population (51.43% vs. 32.87%) and has higher chronic absenteeism (11.7% vs. 6.9%), though its absenteeism is still below its district (14.7%) and the state (17.3%). Its dropout rate has been 0.0%. The school’s higher spending and smaller classes have not produced higher overall or math results than Northwestern Middle’s. Subgroup results are uneven but generally improving, with relative strengths for special education and low-income students and continued needs for others.
