Summary:
Racine Charter One Inc is a single-school district in Racine, Wisconsin, and the entire district is 21st Century Preparatory School, an elementary school at 1220 Mound Ave serving 438 students in grades PK–8. Because the district contains only one school, district-level test scores, dropout, and absenteeism figures are the same as the school's. The district ranks 428th out of 432 Wisconsin districts — the 1st percentile, with 0 stars.
Academically, the school performs far below state averages in every subject. In 2025–2026, science averaged 4.8% proficient versus 52.7% statewide, math 12.8% versus 53.7%, social studies 23.4% versus 65.1%, and English Language Arts 20.3% versus 54.0%. The relative bright spots are 5th grade ELA at 34.62% and 7th grade math at 20.83% in 2025–2026, and 8th grade social studies at 31.58% in 2024–2025 — but no grade-level subject result in the data exceeds its state comparison. The sharpest concerns are 4th grade math and 4th grade science, both at 0% proficient in 2025–2026, down from 18.75% and 15.63% the prior year. Year over year, ELA rose about 2.5 percentage points and math about 2.1, while social studies fell about 4.9 and science about 9.6, leaving overall proficiency essentially flat. Statewide, the school ranked 971st of 1,039 in 2025–2026, the 7th percentile with 0 stars, after 7th percentile in 2024–2025 and 5th percentile in 2023–2024.
Attendance and student context are also notable. Chronic absenteeism was 45.9%, compared with 17.3% statewide, and the dropout rate was 2.2% versus 1.1% statewide. About 63.24% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch, spending per student was $10,294 (2020–2021), and the student-teacher ratio was 18.2. Since the district has one school, any improvement effort would focus directly on 21st Century Preparatory School.
