Summary:
The West Allis-West Milwaukee School District in Wisconsin is home to three high schools: Nathan Hale High, Central High, and James E Dottke Project-Based Learning High School. These schools serve students in grades 9-12 and provide a range of educational opportunities within the district.
Among the three high schools, James E Dottke Project-Based Learning High School stands out as a top performer. It has the highest statewide ranking in the district, ranking 351 out of 431 Wisconsin high schools, and boasts the highest proficiency rates in Forward Exam/Social Studies at 59.46%, surpassing the district and state averages. Additionally, the school maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.2, which may contribute to more personalized attention for students.
While the district's high schools share a consistent 91.0% four-year graduation rate, which is on par with the state average, they face challenges in other areas. All three schools have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging around 17.7%, and consistently perform below the state averages in proficiency rates for the Forward Exam and ACT assessments. The higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Central High and James E Dottke Project-Based Learning High School suggest that these schools may face additional challenges related to socioeconomic factors.
