Summary:
ZIP code 54654 contains a single middle school — Seneca Junior High in Seneca, WI — which serves grades 6–8 with 54 students as part of the Seneca Area School District.
Because it is the only middle school in the area, all comparisons are to district and state figures, and its current results are strong. In 2025–2026, proficiency at Seneca Junior High exceeded the state average in every reported assessment: ELA 8 at 77.78% vs. 54.38% statewide, Math 8 at 77.78% vs. 53.67%, Social Studies 8 at 83.33% vs. 64.63%, and Science 8 at 72.22% vs. 51.86%. Science has been a consistent strength, also reaching 75% in 2024–2025 against a state average of 50.04%. The school ranks 105 of 643 middle schools (84th percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–2026, a recovery from 3 stars the prior year, and the district ranks 166 of 432 (62nd percentile, 3 stars). Its dropout rate is 0.0%, below both the district (1.5%) and state (1.1%).
Two things are worth watching. Sixth grade ELA fell from 82.35% to 58.82%, still above the state's 54.95% but a notable drop, while 8th grade made large gains — ELA 8 rose from 50% to 77.78% and Math 8 from 43.75% to 77.78%. Chronic absenteeism is 17.0%, close to the state's 17.3% but above the district's 12.1%. With 51.85% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch, $16,593 in per-student spending, and a 15.4 student-teacher ratio, this is a small school where a few students can shift percentages sharply, so year-to-year swings should be read with that in mind.
