Summary:
ZIP code 54476, centered on Weston in central Wisconsin, contains exactly one middle school — D C Everest Middle — which serves grades 6 and 7 with an enrollment of 844 students as part of the D C Everest Area School District. Because it is the only middle school in the area, the most useful comparisons are against the district and the state of Wisconsin rather than against neighboring schools.
Academically, the school performs above the state average on every measure available. Its standout result is 7th grade mathematics, where 69.9% of students scored proficient or advanced in 2025-26 — 14.2 percentage points above the statewide rate. Sixth grade math (56.94%), 6th grade ELA (58.37%), and 7th grade ELA (56.47%) also beat state figures, and the same was true the previous year. The school ranks at the 67th percentile among Wisconsin middle schools for 2025-26 with three stars, up from the 61st percentile the year before but below its 2023-24 peak of the 71st percentile with four stars. Notably, results track the district almost exactly — within about half a point in every subject — so its advantage over the state largely mirrors district-wide performance.
Attendance is a bright spot: chronic absenteeism is 10.8%, well below the state's 17.3%. The dropout rate (0.2%) is low but carries little weight at these grade levels. Per-student spending is $13,307 with a 13.8:1 student-teacher ratio, and roughly one in three students qualifies for free or reduced lunch. The main items to watch are the small dip in 6th grade math and the fact that the school has not yet returned to its highest ranking.
