Walden III Middle is a public school that is part of the Racine Unified School District school district, located in Racine, WI.

Walden III Middle School, located at 1012 Center Street in Racine, Wisconsin, is a unique public school operating within the Racine Unified School District (RUSD). Unlike a traditional middle school, Walden III is widely recognized for its alternative educational philosophy, which emphasizes a democratic, student-centered approach. The school fosters a close-knit community where students are encouraged to take an active role in their own learning process, often featuring smaller class sizes and a curriculum designed to promote self-discipline, personal responsibility, and individualized growth.

The school’s environment is defined by a strong emphasis on mutual respect between staff and students, often utilizing a "choice-based" model that allows students to engage with their studies in a more flexible, creative, and collaborative manner. By integrating rigorous academic standards with a focus on social-emotional development and community engagement, Walden III aims to prepare its middle schoolers for the transition to high school by building their critical thinking skills and fostering a sense of ownership over their academic journeys.
