Summary:
Whitnall School District is a four-school district in Wisconsin serving about 2,277 students: two elementary schools for grades PK–5 (Hales Corners Elementary and Edgerton Elementary), one middle school for grades 6–8 (Whitnall Middle), and one high school for grades 9–12 (Whitnall High). No alternative school is listed. The district ranks 60th of 432 districts statewide, placing it in the 86th percentile with 4 stars, and every reported school-level test score in both 2024–25 and 2025–26 was above the matching state average.
Edgerton Elementary is the strongest performer: the district's only 5-star school, ranked 80th of 1,039 elementaries (92nd percentile), with 4th-grade social studies at 87.69% and math and science both at 83.08%. Hales Corners Elementary follows at 121st of 1,039 (88th percentile, 4 stars) and has the district's lowest chronic absenteeism at 2.0%. Whitnall Middle improved to the 85th percentile (4 stars), led by large 8th-grade gains — ELA rose from 55.61% to 74.47% and social studies from 66.31% to 80.21%.
Whitnall High is the current outlier: 199th of 533 (63rd percentile, 3 stars), with its rank percentile slipping from 72 to 63 and 10th-grade ACT ELA falling from 65.34% to 49.27%. Its chronic absenteeism, 13.4%, is well above the district's 8.0% but below the state's 17.3%. Still, graduation is 97.0% and the dropout rate is 0.2%. Notably, spending and poverty rates vary little — from $12,759 to $14,397 per student, and free/reduced lunch from 25.93% to 30.38% — so cost alone doesn't track with results.
