Summary:
The city of Whitewater, Wisconsin is home to 7 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Whitewater Unified School District. While the district is ranked 354 out of 426 districts in Wisconsin and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, a few schools stand out in the data.
Washington Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics, and maintains a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, the highest among Whitewater schools. In contrast, Whitewater High has test scores generally below the state averages, except for Social Studies. The alternative JEDI Virtual K-12 school has a high 4-year graduation rate of 91% and low dropout rate of 1.3%, despite a higher student-teacher ratio and lower spending per student.
Across the district, schools face challenges such as high chronic absenteeism rates of 17.7% and relatively high free and reduced lunch rates, ranging from 42.86% to 53.52%. These factors may be contributing to the overall academic performance struggles seen in many of the Whitewater schools, with the exception of the standout Washington Elementary.
