Summary

Wonewoc-Center Junior High is a small rural middle school in Wonewoc, Wisconsin, serving grades 6–8 with 68 students as part of the Wonewoc-Union Center School District. In 2025–2026, it ranked 246th of 643 middle schools statewide (62nd percentile, 3 stars) — far above its district's rank of 310th of 432 (28th percentile, 1 star). That is a notable turnaround: the school sat at the 22nd percentile in 2022–2023 and has climbed steadily since, now outranking nearby Webb Middle, Weston Junior High School, and Olson Middle.

English language arts is the school's clearest strength, with proficiency above the state in grades 6, 7, and 8. Eighth-grade ELA stands out at 76.19% proficient, compared with 54.38% statewide and roughly 40–51% at nearby middle schools. Eighth-grade social studies is also strong at 80.95% (state: 64.63%), and science is right at the state average. Math is the weak spot: proficiency was below the state in all three grades, and 8th-grade math was just 38.10% versus 53.67% statewide — lower than Webb Middle, Weston Junior High School, and Olson Middle. On subgroup measures, low-income students ranked in the 75th percentile (4 stars), up from the 48th percentile three years earlier.

Chronic absenteeism in 2024–2025 was 11.9%, better than the district (16.1%), the state (17.3%), and Webb Middle, Weston Junior High School, and Olson Middle — though it rose from 7.1% the year before. About 57.35% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, the highest rate among nearby schools, while per-student spending is $14,163 and the student-teacher ratio is 8.5, the lowest nearby. With only 68 students, a few students can shift percentages sharply, so families should watch whether the recent gains hold over several years.
