Best Middle Schools in Zip Code 54935

The middle schools located in zip code 54935 serve students in grades 6-8 and are part of the Fond du Lac School District. This analysis examines the performance and characteristics of the three middle schools in this area: Theisen Middle, Sabish Middle, and Woodworth Middle.

Among the three schools, Theisen Middle stands out as the top performer, ranking 197 out of 628 Wisconsin middle schools in 2024-2025. The school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in proficiency rates across all subject areas. In contrast, Woodworth Middle generally lags behind the district and state averages, particularly in Mathematics. Sabish Middle excels in Mathematics, with proficiency rates above the district and state averages.

The data suggests that socioeconomic factors may play a role in the observed performance differences, as the schools with higher percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients tend to have lower academic achievement. Additionally, the differences in spending per student and student-teacher ratios among the schools do not necessarily translate to better academic outcomes, indicating that factors beyond resource allocation may be at play. Overall, the analysis highlights the need for further investigation into the specific practices and strategies employed by the high-performing school to identify opportunities for improvement in the lower-ranking schools within the same zip code.
