Summary:
ZIP code 54909 is home to exactly one middle school, Almond-Bancroft Middle, which serves grades 6–8 with 77 students in Almond, Wisconsin, as part of the Almond-Bancroft School District. Because it is the only middle school in the area, every local comparison is against statewide averages rather than another nearby school. About 42.86% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, per-student spending is $14,078, and the student-teacher ratio is 12.9 to 1.
Academically, results are mostly below Wisconsin averages, with one clear exception. In 2025–2026, 8th grade Social Studies was the only reported subject-grade above the state, at 65.38% proficient versus 64.63% — a jump of +30.90 percentage points from 34.48% the year before. Sixth grade is the weakest area: Math proficiency was 9.52% against 53.60% statewide, and ELA was 14.29% against 54.95%. Seventh grade is the relative bright spot among core subjects, with ELA at 43.75% and Math at 35.29%, though both remain below state. The school has held a 1-star rating, with percentile ranks of 25 (2023–2024), 14 (2024–2025), and 17 (2025–2026).
Non-test measures are notably stronger. Chronic absenteeism is 8.1%, less than half the state's 17.3%, and the dropout rate is 0.0% versus 1.1% statewide, suggesting students stay connected even while proficiency lags. The district ranks 406th of 432 at the 6th percentile with 0 stars. With only 77 students, each grade-level cohort is small, so year-to-year swings can reflect just a handful of students. Overall, families will find real attendance strengths and a standout Social Studies gain, alongside significant academic gaps — especially in 6th grade — that remain the central challenge.
