Summary:
ZIP code 54013 has one middle school, Glenwood City Middle, serving grades 6–8 with 143 students in the Glenwood City area of Wisconsin, as part of the Glenwood City School District. Because it is the only middle school in the ZIP code, all comparisons are to state and district benchmarks rather than to another local middle school.
On academics, the school has improved overall: it moved from 2 stars and the 39th percentile in 2023–2024 to 3 stars and the 51st percentile in 2025–2026, placing it slightly above the middle of Wisconsin middle schools. Its clearest strengths in 2025–2026 were 8th grade social studies (70.27% proficient vs. 64.63% statewide), 8th grade science (56.76% vs. 51.86%), 7th grade math (63.83% vs. 55.67%), and 8th grade math (62.16% vs. 53.67%). The biggest academic red flag is 6th grade math, where only 30.77% were proficient compared with 53.60% statewide—a sharp drop from 56.25% the prior year. ELA proficiency was below the state average in grades 6, 7, and 8 in both years, though it improved slightly year over year.
Beyond test scores, chronic absenteeism was 12.1%, better than Wisconsin’s 17.3% but higher than the district’s 8.3%. The reported dropout rate was 0.0% for both the school and district, compared with 1.1% statewide, though dropout is not a typical middle-school outcome. About 39.86% of students receive free or reduced lunch, per-student spending is $14,208, and the student-teacher ratio is 12:1. Overall, Glenwood City Middle is a small, improving school with strong upper-grade math, science, and social studies results; 6th grade math, ELA, and the school’s higher-than-district absenteeism rate are the main areas for parents to watch.
