Summary:
Kenosha, Wisconsin is home to 30 schools — 17 elementary, 4 middle, 7 high, and 2 alternative — serving 16,989 students across PK–5, PK–8, 6–12, and PK–12 grade spans, with most campuses in the Kenosha School District, which ranks 340 of 432 districts in the state at the 21st percentile with 1 star, while Paris J1 School District sits much higher at the 63rd percentile with 3 stars.
The clearest standout is Lakeview Technology Academy, ranked 40 of 533 schools (92nd percentile, 5 stars) with a 97.9% graduation rate and test scores far above district and state averages. Among elementary and K–8 schools, Jeffery Elementary (79th percentile, 4 stars), Paris Elementary (lowest poverty in the list at 14.34% FRPL and 0.0% chronic absenteeism), Ruth Harman Academy (improved from the 35th to the 55th percentile), Nash Elementary, Roosevelt Elementary, and Lakeview K-8 Academy all beat district averages. Mahone Middle is the strongest middle school, and Harborside Academy posts a 100.0% graduation rate, while the largest school, Indian Trail High School and Academy, graduates 95.8%.
Chronic absenteeism is the area's biggest concern: the district rate is 27.6% against a state rate of 17.3%, and it climbs to 66.2% at Reuther Central High, 55.6% at Hillcrest School, and 42.7% at Bradford High. High-poverty schools such as Brass Community School, Grant Elementary, and Washington Middle also show the lowest proficiency. Notably, spending does not track with results — Hillcrest spends the most per student ($22,685) with the smallest class sizes yet has low outcomes, while Lakeview Technology spends less with the highest student-teacher ratio.
