Summary

West Milwaukee Intermediate is a grades 6–8 middle school serving 378 students in the Milwaukee-area suburb of West Milwaukee, WI, as part of the West Allis–West Milwaukee School District. In 2025–2026 the school ranked 534th of 643 Wisconsin middle schools, at the 17th percentile with 1 star, while the district ranked at the 7th percentile with 0 stars. It serves a high-poverty population: 76.72% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025. Chronic absenteeism was 20.9% in 2024–2025—above the district's 19.5% and the state's 17.3%—though far better than the 32.9% recorded in 2022–2023. Per-student spending is $16,031.

On 2025–2026 Forward Exam results, English language arts proficiency was 36.62% in 6th grade, 41.32% in 7th, and 45.59% in 8th, while math was 19.01%, 26.45%, and 33.82%. Math is the clearest weakness, running nearly 29 points below the state average. Frank Lloyd Wright Intermediate, the district's other middle school 3.12 miles away, outperformed it in nearly every subject and has lower absenteeism and poverty. Greenfield Middle and Longfellow Middle also scored much higher, even though both spend less per student.

The school nevertheless compares favorably with several nearby Milwaukee schools—King International Baccalaureate Middle, Roosevelt Middle, Lincoln Middle, Wedgewood Park School, and Audubon Technology and Communication Middle—which post lower proficiency, higher absenteeism, and higher poverty rates. United Community Center Acosta Middle School shows similar ELA results but much stronger math. West Milwaukee Intermediate has improved from the 9th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 17th percentile in 2025–2026, and its 8th-grade ELA is above both the district and Frank Lloyd Wright. Its effectiveness with African American and English Language Learner students ranks well above its overall standing, reaching 3–4 stars in recent years.
