Walker Middle

Walker Middle serves 204 sixth through eighth graders in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. The school operates as a regular public institution with a student-teacher ratio of 8.9 to 1 — a figure that gives students in these formative years direct, consistent access to their teachers in a way most middle schools cannot match. The school earns a composite score of 9.2 out of 10, rated Exceptional.

It ranks 15th among 2,102 public schools in Wisconsin, outperforming 99 percent of schools statewide. Growth is the standout metric: a 9.7 out of 10 signals that students are accelerating academically well beyond state norms, not simply arriving with strong preparation. Academic performance scores 8.0 out of 10, confirming that the upward momentum builds on a solid achievement base.

Among Wisconsin's 387 ranked middle schools, Walker sits second. Within Sturgeon Bay's eight public schools, it holds the second position there as well. For families comparing schools across Door County or relocating to the region, those dual top-two finishes make Walker a consistent, data-backed starting point in any school search.

With a student-teacher ratio of 8.9:1, Walker Middle offers a notably low ratio compared to the national average. This typically means smaller class sizes and more opportunities for one-on-one interaction between students and teachers.
