Summary:
The Whitewater Unified School District in Wisconsin consists of 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from preschool through 12th grade.
Among the district's schools, Washington Elementary stands out as a top performer, consistently scoring above the district and state averages on standardized tests, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, the district as a whole tends to underperform compared to state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 30-60% across grade levels and subject areas. The Whitewater High school, while not the highest ranked in the state, maintains a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 91% and a low dropout rate of 1.3%.
Across the district, schools face challenges such as high chronic absenteeism rates, with all schools reporting rates significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the schools have a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage. However, the district's relatively low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 10.5 to 12.7, could be leveraged to provide more personalized support and interventions for struggling students.
