Summary:
ZIP code 54929 contains exactly one middle school — Clintonville Middle — serving grades 6 through 8 with 224 students in the Clintonville School District. Because it is the only middle school in the area, there is no local comparison to make; the most useful context comes from how it stacks up against district and state benchmarks.
The school's clearest strengths are in 7th grade, where students outperformed the state in both ELA (59.15% proficient versus 55.33%) and math (61.97% versus 55.67%) in 2025–2026, repeating a pattern from the prior year. Eighth grade math improved sharply, rising 16.12 percentage points from 41.77% to 57.89% and moving above the state's 53.67%, while 8th grade social studies reached 63.16%, just 1.47 points below the state and up 6.20 points year over year. The school also reported a 0.0% dropout rate, better than the district's 0.5% and the state's 1.1%. Its 2025–2026 ranking of 356 of 643 (45th percentile, 2 stars) is stronger than the district's overall standing of 311 of 432 (28th percentile, 1 star), though it remains below the school's own 2023–2024 peak of 293 of 641 and above the state median.
The main concern is 6th grade. In 2025–2026, 6th grade ELA proficiency was 37.7% against a state figure of 54.95%, and 6th grade math was 39.34% against 53.6% — both far below state levels, with ELA falling 10.95 points from the previous year. Chronic absenteeism is another watch item at 19.5%, lower than the district's 23.1% but higher than the state's 17.3%. Encouragingly, the previous 6th grade cohort improved markedly as 7th graders, suggesting the current 6th grade gap is addressable. With 48.21% of students receiving free or reduced lunch, a student-teacher ratio of 11.3, and per-student spending of $14,860, the school has resources in place to target 6th grade ELA and math and to keep absenteeism trending down.
