Summary

Reuther Central High is a 9–12 school serving 358 students at 913 57th St in Kenosha, WI, a small high school in the Kenosha School District where the three comprehensive high schools each enroll 1,400–1,900 students. It ranks 502 of 533 Wisconsin high schools (6th percentile) in 2025-2026 and has never left the bottom 5% of the state across fifteen years of rankings, below its district’s 340-of-432 (21st percentile, 1 star) position.

The school has the highest poverty concentration in its comparison group: 81.56% free/reduced lunch, nearly triple Lakeview Technology Academy’s 28.9%. Its 2025-2026 10th-grade test proficiency is the lowest in the set—social studies 20.51%, ELA 9.09%, math 3.64%, science 11.32%—versus district rates of 35.27%, 40.3%, 28.72%, and 31.24%, and state rates of 48.25%, 48.47%, 42.93%, and 43.2%. Math is about one-eighth the district rate and one-twelfth the state rate. Chronic absenteeism is 66.2% (2024-2025) versus 27.6% district and 17.3% state; dropout is 3.6% versus 1.2% district and 1.1% state; graduation is 84.1% versus 91.4% district and 92.0% state. It spends $16,083 per student, more than several Kenosha peers, while its student-teacher ratio rose from 13.8 to 18.3 in one year.

The sharpest comparison is Harborside Academy, at the same address 0.02 miles away: 100% graduation, 0% dropout, 20.9% chronic absenteeism, 46.88% ELA, 50.79% social studies, and 46.5% free/reduced lunch. That suggests student assignment and program design matter more than the building. One bright spot: the special education subgroup ranks 221 of 333 (34th percentile, 2 stars), the school’s highest relative result. Recent improvements include chronic absenteeism falling from 79.6% to 66.2%, social studies rising from 9.43% to 20.51%, ELA from 4.76% to 9.09%, and graduation from 82.5% to 84.1%, though dropout worsened from 1.4% to 3.6% over five years. The bottom-of-state position looks structural, so the key question is what student population this school is designed to serve and whether it is resourced for that job.
