Summary

West De Pere Middle is a 546-student school serving grades 7–8 on South 9th Street in De Pere, Wisconsin, part of the West De Pere School District. It ranks 225th of 643 Wisconsin middle schools (65th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025-26, while the district as a whole sits at the 85th percentile (4 stars). Attendance is a clear strength: chronic absenteeism of 6.4% is well under half the state's 17.3%, and the dropout rate has been 0.0% for five consecutive years.

Proficiency clears the state average in all six tested areas, led by 8th-grade math at 68.63% — about 15 points above state. But science (about 2.7 points above state) and 8th-grade ELA (0.9 points above) are barely distinguishable from state averages. The most striking comparison is De Pere Middle, 2.7 miles away in the De Pere School District: with similar poverty rates, spending and class sizes, it ranks 97th percentile and outperforms West De Pere Middle in every subject by 16–28 points. Wrightstown Middle also leads across the board. Meanwhile the school's own feeder, West De Pere Intermediate School, posts scores 10–13 points above state, compared with only 1–4 points at the middle school.

The trend line is the real concern. The school has slid every year from the 77th percentile in 2021-22 to 65th now — its lowest mark in roughly a decade. Five of six subjects declined year-over-year, including an 11.4-point drop in 8th-grade ELA. Absenteeism rose from 4.5% to 6.4%, and most student subgroups lost ground, with low-income students and English learners among the sharpest declines. Spending isn't the constraint: at $14,073 per student, the school spends more than De Pere Middle or Wrightstown Middle and gets weaker results. Bottom line: a solidly above-average school with excellent attendance that is underperforming its own district and its closest peers — and softening.
