Summary
Kewaunee High is a public high school serving grades 9–12 in Kewaunee, Wisconsin, with 284 students in the Kewaunee School District, where about one in three students (33.1%) qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch. In 2025–26 the school ranked 274th of 533 Wisconsin high schools — the 49th percentile, 2 stars — far better than its 12th-percentile showing in 2021–22, but slightly below 2024–25 (52nd percentile, 3 stars).
Math is the school's most consistent academic strength, beating the state in each of the last four reported years: 50% proficient in 2025–26 versus the state's 42.93%, and 63.64% in 2024–25 versus 42.73%. Social studies surged to 54.1% in 2025–26 after 30.65%, 40%, and 24.32% the three years before, also above the state. English language arts is the clear weak point at 34.38%, well below the state's 48.47% and behind Two Rivers High, Denmark High, Mishicot High, and Luxemburg-Casco High. Science, at 37.5%, also trails the state's 43.2%. Luxemburg-Casco outperformed Kewaunee in all four tested subjects, while Algoma High and Two Rivers generally scored lower.
Kewaunee's 2024–25 graduation rate of 91.5% dipped just below the state's 92.0% and below most nearby schools, but earlier years were consistently above state levels, so this looks like a dip rather than a pattern. Dropout is very low at 0.3% (state: 1.1%). Chronic absenteeism, 16.3%, is below the state and below Luxemburg-Casco, yet above the district's 9.5% and has risen three years running. The school spends $17,253 per student — more than Luxemburg-Casco, Denmark, Two Rivers, and Mishicot — with a student-teacher ratio of 13.2. Subgroup results are strikingly uneven: English language learners rank 1st of 115 schools, low-income students rank at the 71st percentile (up sharply from 28th), while special education students rank at the 18th percentile.
