Academically, the picture is mostly positive with a few weak spots. Seventh grade math is the standout: 72.92% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, which is 17.25 points above the state average and a large jump from 53.10% the year before. Eighth grade social studies has also been consistently strong, beating the state in both years, though the margin narrowed from +6.72 to +2.04 points. Overall, the school’s average proficiency across the listed tests was 57.00% versus the state’s 55.51%, an advantage that shrank from +2.16 the prior year. The main concerns are eighth grade science, which was below state in both years (45.05% in 2025–2026, 6.81 points under state), and sixth grade ELA, which fell from 65.00% to 52.81% — a 12.19-point drop that moved the school from well above state to slightly below it.
Beyond test scores, East Troy Middle looks strong on engagement and climate. Chronic absenteeism was 8.7%, below the district’s 9.7% and roughly half the state’s 17.3%, and the dropout rate was 0.0% compared with the state’s 1.1%. Resources include a student-teacher ratio of 11.1, $16,902 in per-student spending, and 23.1% of students receiving free/reduced lunch. One trend worth watching: the school has held 3 stars for three years, but its rank percentile slipped from 60 to 56 to 54. The district itself is rated 4 stars and sits in the 70th percentile, so the school remains above average even as its relative standing softens.
