Summary:
ZIP code 53076 (Richfield, Wisconsin) is served by exactly one middle school, Richfield Middle, a grades 5–8 building with about 206 students — roughly 50 per grade — in the Holy Hill Area School District. Its small size gives families a compact school community, but it also means that a handful of students can shift a reported percentage by several points.
Richfield Middle is a consistently top-performing school. It has held 5 stars and a state percentile of 92–93 for three straight years, ranking 49th of 643 Wisconsin middle schools in 2025-2026 — the top ~7.6% of the state — while its district ranks 43rd of 432. In 2025-2026 it beat the state average in all ten reported assessments, by about 21 points on average (roughly 75.7% proficient versus 54.9% statewide). Grade 8 is the strongest: 86.7% in math (33 points above the state figure), 86.7% in social studies, and 80.0% in science. Even the narrowest margin, grade 7 ELA, was +13.1 points above state.
Attendance and resources also look favorable. Chronic absenteeism is 9.8% against 17.3% statewide, though it is higher than the district's own 7.2%. Per-pupil spending is $17,680, with a 10:1 student-teacher ratio and a 16.0% free/reduced-price lunch rate. Two cautions for parents: results can be volatile in tiny cohorts — grade 5 ELA went from 43.4% (below state) to 76.5% in a single year, and grade 8 science swung about 15 points — so the sustained signals, such as three straight 5-star years and repeated strong grade 8 math results, deserve more weight than any one-year jump.
