About Superior Middle School
Superior Middle School serves every elementary attendance area in the City of Superior, enrolling roughly 888 students in grades 6 through 8 (NCES Common Core of Data, 2024-2025, accessed 2026-08-13). It takes students from all five district elementaries and moves them on to Superior High School.
At this size it is larger than any middle school in the surrounding Minnesota suburbs, which is the practical trade-off of a single-pathway district: one building per level, but each building at real scale.
The School District of Superior enrolled 3,732 students as of its September 2025 count and reports that about 45.8% of students qualified for free or reduced-price meals in 2024-25 (School District of Superior, accessed 2026-08-13). The district serves the entire City of Superior with five neighborhood elementaries, a dedicated preschool, one middle school, and one high school, so every student in the city converges on Superior Middle School and Superior High School.
Wisconsin publishes district and school data through the Department of Public Instruction's WISEdash portal. This guide builds its own transparent school ratings from state data rather than republishing licensed third-party scores. Attendance boundaries change between years, so confirm the assignment for a specific address with the district. Families comparing across the state line should also check current Minnesota and Wisconsin open enrollment rules before assuming a cross-border option exists.
