Summary:

Kenosha School District serves 31 schools — 19 elementary, 4 middle, 7 high, and 1 alternative — with 18,110 students in the city of Kenosha, Wisconsin, on the shore of Lake Michigan. District-wide, it ranks 340 of 432 in Wisconsin, at the 21st percentile with 1 star. School sizes vary enormously, from 1,902 students at Indian Trail High School and Academy down to just 29 at Kenosha Pike School. Because ranking denominators differ by level, star ratings and percentiles are more comparable across grade levels than raw ranks are.

On the high end, Prairie Lane Elementary is the strongest elementary school (89th percentile, 4 stars; it held 5 stars the year before), while Lakeview Technology Academy is the top high school (92nd percentile, 5 stars, a 97.9% graduation rate and 0% dropout) — even with the highest student-teacher ratio in the district at 23.3. Jeffery Elementary (79th percentile, 4 stars), Nash Elementary and Roosevelt Elementary (both 63rd percentile) also perform well. Mahone Middle leads the middle schools, Harborside Academy posts a 100% graduation rate, and Ruth Harman Academy has climbed from the 35th to the 55th percentile.

At the other end, Brass Community School (5th percentile) and Grant Elementary (6th percentile) both hold 0 stars, with proficiency rates in the single digits to low teens. Washington Middle and Reuther Central High also rank near the bottom; Reuther Central has the district's highest chronic absenteeism at 66.2%, and Hillcrest School combines the lowest graduation rate (64.8%) with the highest per-student spending ($22,685) — a reminder that money alone does not guarantee results. Chronic absenteeism is a district-wide issue: 27.6% versus 17.3% statewide, with 22 of 30 reporting schools above the state rate.
