Summary

WHS Information Technology is a 9th–12th grade high school at 2525 N Sherman Blvd in Milwaukee's Sherman Park neighborhood, serving 402 students as part of the Milwaukee School District. It is one of the larger neighborhood high schools in the area — roughly four times the size of Groppi High, NOVA-Northwest Opportunities Vocational Academy, or Transition High — and serves a high-poverty population, with 85.3% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

The biggest recent news is graduation: 66.4% of students graduated in 2024-25, up 22.9 points from the year before and the school's best rate in five years, with dropout falling to 9.5%. That puts it ahead of NOVA, Groppi, Shalom High, North Division High, Marshall High, and Transition High — trailing only the selective arts magnet Milwaukee High School of the Arts among MPS schools in this group. The caution is chronic absenteeism: 84.2% of students are chronically absent, up 3 points from the prior year and roughly 4.9 times the state rate. That is among the lowest absenteeism rates in the MPS peer group, but it still means about five of every six students miss substantial school time.

Test scores remain very low: 2.78% proficient in math, 5.56% in science, 6.56% in social studies, and 8.33% in English language arts in 2025-26 — no subject reaches double digits. Special education students rank 332nd of 333 schools statewide. Spending is $24,310 per student, up 64% in five years, yet East High in Wauwatosa, 2.1 miles away, spends 67% less per student and posts far higher proficiency, a 95.8% graduation rate, and 18.7% absenteeism.
