Summary:

ZIP code 53065 contains a single middle school, Oakfield Middle, serving grades 6–8 with 131 students as part of the Oakfield School District. With no other middle school in the ZIP, its results are best compared against district and state benchmarks — and they are strong. The district ranks 31st of 432 Wisconsin districts (93rd percentile, 5 stars), and the school ranks 56th of 643 (91st percentile, 5 stars) for 2025–2026, up from 59th of 628 in 2024–2025 and 69th of 641 (89th percentile, 4 stars) in 2023–2024.

Proficiency is above the state average in every reported subject and grade. In 2025–2026, the school averaged 76.7% proficient across the eight reported Forward Exam tests versus 55.5% statewide, a gap of about 21 percentage points. Eighth grade math is the standout at 92.31% proficient, 38.64 points above the state's 53.67%. Year over year, the largest gains were Math 6 (+12.83), ELA 8 (+11.00), and Math 8 (+8.10), while declines came in Math 7 (−12.28), Social Studies 8 (−7.42), and Science 8 (−1.56). Science 8, at 58.97%, was the lowest school score, though still above the state's 51.86% and the school's narrowest margin over the state. With only 131 students, cohort changes can move percentages quickly.

Attendance and dropout indicators are exceptional: chronic absenteeism was 1.6% versus 17.3% statewide, and dropout was 0.0% versus the state's 1.1%. For context, 29.01% of students receive free/reduced lunch, per-student spending is $15,009, and the student-teacher ratio is 13.4; the dataset includes no state or district benchmarks for these three measures. Overall, Oakfield Middle is a small, 5-star, top-decile school with strong results across most subjects, outstanding attendance, and a relative opportunity in science.
