Summary

Parker High is a 9–12 high school serving 1,272 students in the Janesville School District in Janesville, Wisconsin. In 2025–2026 it earned 2 stars and ranked 312th of 533 Wisconsin high schools, placing it in the 41st percentile — the same 2-star rating as its district, which ranks 257th of 432 districts statewide.

Parker is on a clear upward path. Its statewide percentile climbed from 5th in 2021–2022 to 41st in 2025–2026, moving from 0–1 stars earlier in the decade to 2 stars today. Tenth-grade ELA proficiency rose from 25.88% to 50.75% over three years, and math jumped from 10.96% to 40.67%. Graduation (93.9%) and dropout (0.3%) outcomes beat both the district and the state, and the dropout rate is comparable to Milton High (0.3%) and stronger than Craig High (0.4%), Turner High (0.8%), Memorial High (2.9%), and Rock River Charter School (4.7%). The school also shows above-average effectiveness for Hispanic students (54th percentile, 3 stars) and English Language Learner students (64th percentile, 3 stars).

The biggest concern is chronic absenteeism: 30.0%, well above the district (22.0%) and state (17.3%), and far higher than Milton High (11.7%), Edgerton High (11.4%), Turner High (12.9%), and Parkview High (14.5%). Social studies is the weakest tested subject at 34.56%, below district and state and behind most nearby schools. Math and science sit above the district but below the state. Parker spends $16,259 per student with a 12.8:1 student-teacher ratio — more favorable than Craig High, Milton High, Edgerton High, and Turner High — yet those schools generally post stronger results, suggesting attendance and school practices matter more than resources alone.
