Original Research by School Decision on Luxemburg-casco Middle
Luxemburg-Casco Middle is a regular public school serving seventh and eighth graders in the village of Luxemburg, Wisconsin. It is part of the Luxemburg-Casco School District, which in recent years consolidated all four of its schools — primary, intermediate, middle, and high — onto a single campus. A brand-new middle school building opened in August 2020, a capital investment that families moving into the area will likely see as a modernized facility with a fresh start. Because this school only covers two grade levels, it has no graduation rate, no college readiness metrics like AP or dual credit, and no state testing in early grades; the data available is confined to the Wisconsin Forward assessments taken by seventh and eighth graders.
Academically, this school performs well. In seventh grade math, the share of students scoring proficient or above was comfortably strong, and eighth grade math was also at a solid level. English language arts results were similarly robust, with strong majorities of both seventh and eighth graders meeting proficiency. In eighth grade science, a clear majority of students reached proficiency, and in social studies, the share was also solid. Participation rates on these state tests were very high, which means the proficiency figures reflect nearly the entire student body rather than a self-selected group.
Compared to other districts in Kewaunee County — a small cohort of three — this school's overall proficiency across tested subjects and grades lands in the top quartile. That is a meaningful signal. Even though comparisons here use a county-based set rather than a statewide one, the distinction within the county points to a school performing at a level worth noting.
The student body is diverse in the way many rural Wisconsin schools are: the large majority of students are white, with a modest share of Hispanic students and small numbers from other racial and ethnic backgrounds. The share of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch is modest, lower than what is typical in many parts of the state. Data on students with disabilities and English learners was not available in the reporting, so those numbers are not part of this picture.
The village of Luxemburg itself sits within the Green Bay metropolitan area, about a short drive from the city. It is a small village with an industrial park, family-owned farms, and a population that has grown in recent decades. Housing values in the area run above the statewide benchmark, and the community is described as family-oriented. The district's single campus layout means that a student moving from the primary school through high school stays on the same site, which gives a sense of continuity. The Ahnapee Trail runs through the area, and there are parks and a public golf course nearby.
For a family considering this school, the profile is of a middle school that performs well on state assessments, in a district that recently invested in a new building, serving a small, predominantly white student body in a village setting with low poverty rates. What is not available from this data is any measure of chronic absenteeism, discipline rates, staffing ratios, or specific academic programs such as advanced coursework or electives at the middle school level. A parent would want to ask the school directly about those details to get a fuller picture. But the core academic results are clearly above the county average, and the facility is new.
