Summary

Pulaski High is a public high school in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, serving 945 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Milwaukee School District, which is ranked 415 out of 426 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Pulaski High has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in Wisconsin, with a ranking between 422 and 466 out of the total number of high schools over the past decade.

Pulaski High's academic performance is significantly below the state and district averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 4.72% of 10th-grade students were proficient or better in the Forward Exam/Social Studies, compared to 47.67% statewide and 21.73% for the Milwaukee School District. The school also has consistently low graduation rates, with a four-year graduation rate of 57.9% in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to the state average of 91.0%. Additionally, Pulaski High has high dropout rates, with an 8.9% dropout rate in the 2023-2024 school year, significantly higher than the state average of 1.3%.

While Pulaski High is the lowest-performing school in the analysis, several nearby schools within the Milwaukee School District also struggle academically, such as Carmen High School of Science and Technology South Campus and South Division High. Pulaski High's poor performance is particularly concerning, as the school has faced persistent challenges in improving student outcomes for over a decade. Despite the school's low performance, Pulaski High spends a relatively high amount per student, with $15,428 spent per student in the 2020-2021 school year, suggesting that additional funding alone may not be the sole solution to the school's challenges.
