Summary:
The Kenosha School District includes seven high schools serving grades 9–12 and 6–12, with about 6,201 students in a district ranked 340th of 432 in Wisconsin and rated 1 star. Enrollment ranges from 108 at Hillcrest School to 1,902 at Indian Trail High School and Academy; the three largest schools—Indian Trail High School and Academy, Bradford High, and Tremper High—enroll about 77% of students.
Lakeview Technology Academy is the clear academic standout: 40th of 533 schools, 92nd percentile, 5 stars, 97.9% graduation, 0% dropout, and the only school above state averages in all four 10th-grade subjects: social studies 64.95%, ELA 73.81%, math 60.71%, and science 59.52%. It also has the lowest free/reduced lunch rate (28.9%) and lowest per-student spending ($13,024). Harborside Academy stands out for 100% graduation and 0% dropout, with chronic absenteeism at 20.9%. Indian Trail High School and Academy is the strongest large comprehensive high school, with 95.8% graduation and 48.45% ELA proficiency, essentially matching the state’s 48.47%. Tremper High graduates 92.7% and ranks 31st percentile.
Reuther Central High and Hillcrest School face the biggest challenges. Reuther ranks 6th percentile with 0 stars, 84.1% graduation, 66.2% chronic absenteeism, 81.56% free/reduced lunch, and 10th-grade proficiency of 20.51% social studies, 9.09% ELA, 3.64% math, and 11.32% science. Hillcrest has the lowest graduation rate (64.8%), highest dropout rate (8.0%), highest per-student spending ($22,685), and very small cohorts, so percentages like 0% ELA and math should be interpreted cautiously. Bradford High is below the district average in every 10th-grade subject. Across the district, all seven schools exceed the state chronic absenteeism rate of 17.3%, math and science are relative weak points, and higher spending does not simply translate to better outcomes.
