Our School

Badger Middle School is the home of energetic and hardworking seventh- and eighth-graders. We nurture our students in this important time in their lives, while our highly-trained staff strives to create with them quality relationships for the benefit of their academic and social success. Badger Middle School students are encouraged to take ownership of their learning by setting personal goals, monitoring their progress, and celebrating and reflecting on their growth, challenges, and achievement.

Our Details

There are about 781 students in seventh and eighth grade in our school, which is located in the heart of West Bend at the intersection of Decorah Road and Main Street. All seventh- and eighth-grade students in the West Bend School District attend Badger unless they are in the WBVA. We offer several different athletics and a large number of co-curriculars. 

Our Structure

We utilize houses, smaller learning communities featuring teams of teachers who work closely with a group of students for more than half of their school day. The other part of the students’ day is spent with other amazing staff teaching a wide variety of elective courses.
