Summary:
ZIP code 53959 in Reedsburg, Wisconsin contains exactly one middle school: Webb Middle, which serves grades 6–8 with 572 students as part of the Reedsburg School District. Since it is the only middle school in the area, there are no local school-to-school comparisons to make; the meaningful benchmarks are the district and the state. Roughly 41% of students are eligible for free/reduced lunch, per-student spending is $14,728, and the student-teacher ratio is 13:1.
On the Forward Exam, school and district proficiency figures are identical on every listed test. Math and science are the strongest areas: math proficiency averaged above the state in both years, with 2024–2025 8th grade math at 65.22% versus the state's 53.06%, and science above state in both years (58.15% vs 50.04%, then 52.94% vs 51.86%). English Language Arts is the clearest weakness — below the state in 5 of 6 grade-level tests across the two years, with the largest gap in 2025–2026 8th grade ELA at 40.64% versus the state's 54.38%. Social studies also shifted from above state (64.67% vs 62.51%) to below state (55.61% vs 64.63%).
Attendance and dropout indicators are positive: chronic absenteeism was 13.7%, lower than the district's 18.4% and the state's 17.3%, and the 2024–2025 dropout rate was 0.0%. Rank moved from the 52nd percentile with 3 stars in 2024–2025 to the 43rd percentile with 2 stars in 2025–2026, still above the district's 36th percentile. Year-over-year grade comparisons reflect different cohorts of students, not the same students over time, so large swings should be read with caution.
