Weston Junior High School has had inconsistent academic performance over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 253 to 521 out of 594-641 Wisconsin middle schools. Its performance on the Forward Exam has also been mixed, with some subject areas and grade levels performing above the state average, while others are significantly below. The school has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 45% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. This is higher than the state average and may contribute to the school's academic challenges. Additionally, the school has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 2.5% to 19.5% in recent years, and its dropout rate has been between 0.0% and 1.3% over the past few years.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Royall Intermediate, Wonewoc-Center Junior High, Ithaca Middle, and Webb Middle, Weston Junior High School generally performs below average in academic measures like test scores and proficiency rates. The school has also shown significant differences in the performance of male and female students, with male students ranking 162 out of 577 Wisconsin middle schools in the state, while female students ranked 466 out of 573 in the 2024-2025 school year. This suggests that the school may need to implement targeted interventions to address the needs of its female students and improve overall educational outcomes.
