Brookwood Middle, Genoa City WI - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Brookwood Middle

Brookwood Middle serves students in fourth through eighth grade in Genoa City, Wisconsin, part of the Genoa City J2 School District. It functions as a regular public school. The grade band means the school does not serve high school grades, so there is no graduation rate to report, and the available metrics focus entirely on annual state assessments, student demographics, and the surrounding community.

The student body is small enough that most families will recognize the scale immediately. In terms of composition, a substantial majority of students are white, roughly a quarter are Hispanic, and the remainder is a very small share of Asian and two or more races. About a third of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, which gives the school a middle-income profile relative to many other public schools. The school does not report data on students with IEPs or English learners in the available source, so a parent with a child in those categories may want to ask the school directly about the size and structure of its special education and ELL programs.

On the 2024-25 Wisconsin Forward assessments, the picture is mixed. In math, the share of students scoring proficient or above falls below half in most grades: fourth grade is noticeably lower, fifth and sixth grade hover in a similar range, and seventh and eighth grade come in slightly higher but still below the majority mark. In English language arts, results run somewhat stronger in a few grades and weaker in others. Fourth and fifth grade are near the point where about half of students meet the bar, sixth grade and seventh grade sit lower, and eighth grade posts the strongest ELA result on the campus, above half. Science scores are tested in fourth and eighth grades; fourth grade is below half, while eighth grade reaches above half. Social studies, tested in the same two grades, shows a similar pattern, with fourth grade above half and eighth grade clearly above most other subjects.

When placed alongside other districts in Walworth County, Brookwood Middle's overall proficiency index sits below the midpoint of the field. That is a straightforward comparative statement: across the tested subjects and grades, the school's combined performance is lower than what the typical district in the county shows. A parent looking at this should understand that while the school has some grade-level strengths, especially in eighth grade ELA, social studies, and science, the overall academic results are not among the stronger ones in the county.

The school is located in Genoa City, a small village in southeastern Wisconsin. The community is mainly residential, with a historic core along Freeman Street, local businesses, industrial parks, a public library, ball fields, and parks. The village government describes a full-time police department, a paid volunteer fire department, and a recreation program. A parent can expect a car-dependent setting where the school is integrated into the village footprint rather than set apart on a large campus. Housing values in the area sit slightly below the statewide benchmark but above the national average, and prices have been rising at a modest pace in recent years, consistent with national trends. The district itself had no recent changes or initiatives publicly reported that would reshape the school's direction, so the school's current profile appears stable.

For a family weighing this school, the essential take is straightforward. Brookwood Middle offers a small, traditional middle school experience in a village setting. Academic proficiency across the board is below the county midpoint, though eighth grade stands out as a stronger year. The school does not appear to have unusual program offerings or magnet options, based on the data available. A parent whose child needs significant academic support or enrichment beyond the core curriculum may want to investigate those areas directly with the school. For families comfortable with a mid-sized, mainly white and Hispanic student body in a slower-paced village, and who want clarity on day-to-day academic reality rather than a top-tier test record, this school provides a grounded, if not exceptional, academic pathway.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
