Summary:
ZIP code 54724 has exactly one public middle school: Bloomer Middle, part of the Bloomer School District. It serves 350 students in grades 5–8, so families in this area have a single public middle-school option. The school holds a 2-star rating and ranked 403 of 643 schools statewide in 2025–2026, placing it in the 37th percentile; the district ranked 283 of 432, in the 34th percentile. Its relative standing has slipped over three years, from the 45th percentile in 2023–2024 to 42nd in 2024–2025 and 37th in 2025–2026, even though the star rating stayed at 2 stars.
Test results are mixed. The school was above the state average in only two of ten reported tests in 2025–2026: 5th grade ELA at 57.84% versus 53.63% statewide, and 8th grade Social Studies at 66.29% versus 64.63% — its strongest subject, and one that has stayed above state for two years. ELA improved overall, with the grades 5–8 average rising from 47.84% to 51.40% and the gap to the state narrowing from about 5.29 to 3.18 percentage points, helped by a 17.58-point jump in 5th grade ELA. Math is the clear weakness: every grade was below the state in both years, and the math average fell from 47.11% to 44.42%, leaving a 9.27-point gap. The lowest result is 8th grade math, where 39.33% were proficient versus 53.67% statewide. Eighth grade Science slipped from above the state (52.17% vs. 50.04%) to slightly below it (50.56% vs. 51.86%).
Other measures look comparatively favorable. The dropout rate is 0.0%, below the district's 0.1% and the state's 1.1%, and chronic absenteeism of 14.9% is under the state's 17.3%, though above the district's 13.1%. About 30.57% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, per-student spending is $13,594, and the student-teacher ratio is 13.7. Overall proficiency edged up slightly, from 49.50% to 50.01%, but the state improved faster, widening the gap and explaining the drop in relative rank.
