Summary:

The Kettle Moraine School District serves roughly 3,308 students across 11 schools in southeastern Wisconsin — five elementary schools, one middle school, and five high schools — covering grades PK through 12. The district as a whole ranks 68th of 432 in Wisconsin, placing it at the 84th percentile with 4 stars, and every school keeps chronic absenteeism below the state's 17.3% rate.

Several schools stand out. High School of Health Sciences is the state's top-ranked high school (1st of 533, 100th percentile, 5 stars), with a 100% graduation rate and ACT scores near or above 90%. Kettle Moraine Middle ranks 24th of 643 middle schools with 5 stars, while Wales Elementary (68th of 1,039) and Cushing Elementary (73rd of 1,039) both earn 5 stars. KM Global School (28th of 533) and the much larger Kettle Moraine High (29th of 533, 869 students) also rank in the 95th percentile. Two schools trail: Dousman Elementary sits at 611th of 1,039 with 2 stars, and KM Connect ranks 423rd of 533 with 1 star, though its enrollment of just 35 makes its percentages highly volatile.

Spending does not track with results here: Dousman spends the most per student at $17,680 yet ranks in the 41st percentile, while Health Sciences spends $13,418 and ranks 1st. Math is a relative weak spot at some high schools — School for Arts and Performance reports ACT Math at 36% alongside 84% in ELA. Student-teacher ratios range from 12.2 at Cushing to 21.8 at KM Connect.
