Summary:

ZIP code 54228 is served by a single middle school: Mishicot Middle, part of the Mishicot School District. It enrolls 216 students in grades 6–8, with a 15.4:1 student-teacher ratio, 28.7% of students receiving free or reduced lunch, and per-student spending of $13,287. Because it is the only middle school in the area, the most useful comparisons are against Wisconsin state averages and the school's own prior-year results.

Math is the school's clear academic strength. In 2025–26, all three tested grades finished above the state: 6th-grade math at 64.52% proficient versus 53.60% statewide, 7th-grade math at 81.16% versus 55.67%, and 8th-grade math at 65.67% versus 53.67%. The school's math average was 70.45% against a state average of 54.31%. English language arts is more uneven. Seventh-grade ELA was strong at 66.67% proficient, above the state's 55.33%, but 6th-grade ELA at 48.39% and 8th-grade ELA at 50.72% fell below state averages. The overall ELA average slipped from 66.79% in 2024–25 to 55.26%, moving from far above state to roughly even. Eighth-grade science stayed above state at 55.22%, while social studies dropped below state at 57.97% versus 64.63%.

Engagement measures are notably strong. Chronic absenteeism was 7.3%, less than half the state's 17.3%, and the reported dropout rate was 0.0% versus 1.1% statewide. The school's current rank is 228 of 643, in the 65th percentile with 3 stars, above the district's 2-star rating but below its own 2024–25 peak of 112 of 628, in the 82nd percentile with 4 stars. The main watch items are 6th- and 8th-grade ELA, 8th-grade social studies, and the step back from that 4-star year. Because grade-level groups are small, year-to-year swings are common and worth monitoring rather than treating as permanent trends.
