Summary

Grandview High is a small 9–12 high school in the Milwaukee School District on Milwaukee's south side at 2745 S 13th St, enrolling 219 students and ranked 507th of 533 Wisconsin high schools for 2025–2026 with 0 stars. That rating is not a one-year dip: Grandview has placed in the 1st–5th percentile with 0 stars in every reported year since 2007–2008.

Attendance and finishing school are its sharpest challenges. Grandview's 2024–2025 graduation rate was 37.0%, dropout rate 15.6%, and chronic absenteeism 85.8% — the highest among standard comprehensive high schools nearby. Bay View High holds a nearly identical statewide rank (506th of 533) yet graduates 66.6% with 4.8% dropout and 73.8% absenteeism, showing how similar rankings can mask very different outcomes. Test scores are low but not the lowest nearby: on 2025–2026 10th-grade measures, 10% were proficient in math, 6.67% in English language arts, 11.11% in social studies, and 6.67% in science — above Bradley Technology High, Pulaski High, and South Division High in several subjects, yet far below district and state averages and below Carmen High School of Science and Technology South Campus and Veritas High.

Poverty and spending don't fully explain the results. Grandview's 85.84% free/reduced lunch rate is high, but Carmen High School of Science and Technology South Campus enrolls 96.07% low-income students and still graduates 93.8% with 0.7% dropout. Grandview spends $19,259 per student (up from $14,025 in 2019–2020), close to nearby schools, with no clear outcome gains yet; its 31.2 student–teacher ratio is higher than most. English Language Learner students rank 72nd of 115 (37th percentile, 2 stars) — a relative strength. Progress has been fragile: graduation rose from 22.1% in 2020–2021 to 46.5% in 2023–2024 before dropping to 37.0%, while chronic absenteeism worsened from 69.6% to 85.8%.
