While Valders Middle generally performs above the state average in ELA and math proficiency, particularly in 6th and 8th grade, the school's 7th grade ELA proficiency lags behind.

Valders Middle serves a relatively low-income student population, with a free/reduced lunch rate of 25.95%. Despite this, the school's spending per student is relatively high at $11,893, and its student-teacher ratio of 12.2 is relatively low, which may contribute to the school's academic performance. However, the Valders Area School District as a whole is ranked 283 out of 426 districts in Wisconsin and is rated 2 out of 5 stars, suggesting the district may be underperforming compared to other districts in the state.
Overall, Valders Middle School appears to be a moderately performing middle school, with some areas of strength and some areas for improvement. The school's demographics and resource allocation suggest a focus on supporting student success, but there is room for continued growth and development.
