Summary

Audubon Technology and Communication High is a public high school in Milwaukee, WI, serving about 436 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Milwaukee School District, which ranks 418th of 432 districts statewide. The school has historically ranked near the bottom of Wisconsin high schools: in 2025–2026 it placed 487th of 533 (9th percentile, 0 stars), which is a relative improvement over 2023–2024 (421st of 431) and 2020–2021 (390th of 390).

Its strongest results are in getting students to finish school. Audubon's 2024–2025 graduation rate was 85.5%, 14 points above the district's 71.5% and better than most nearby Milwaukee high schools, including Pulaski High (67.5%), Hamilton High (64.1%), and Grandview High (37.0%). Its 1.3% dropout rate is 2.7 points below the district and close to the state's 1.1%. Graduation improved from 67.5% in 2021–2022 while dropout fell from 4.6% to 1.3%. Among student groups, special education students rank at the 77th percentile (4 stars) and English language learners at the 42nd percentile — both far above the school's overall 9th percentile.

Academics are the main concern. In 2025–2026, 10th-grade ELA proficiency was 25.81% — slightly above the district (24.62%) but 22.66 points below the state (48.47%). Math (9.68%), science (10.75%), and social studies (12.75%) trail both district and state. Chronic absenteeism, at 42.4%, is lower than the district's 46.2% but more than double the state rate and well above Reagan College Preparatory High (19.7%), Carmen High School of Science and Technology South Campus (25.5%), Greenfield High (20.2%), and Veritas High (20.2%). Per-student spending reached $19,955, similar to many nearby MPS high schools.

Like any place there’s good a bad, people pick sides people judge off of emotions and create these associations. I love that place meet some of the most intelligent down to earth people such as mr.comaris he truly makes connections with kids he doesn’t play favorites he treats each kid equal. I had teachers form opinions about me from other words from lying students I’ve had them tell me be “realistic” but follow your dreams. A lot of the stuff subconsciously puts the life Faults and frustrations on certain students and as I’ve grown older I realized they voiced opinions that you shouldn’t voice to a child because you think they don’t understand what your saying to this fullest extent. I’ve had teachers read my grades out to 38 students before after voicing out I’ve had problems with anxiety but hey ignorance is bliss. Don’t even get me started on the fact we had no paper 2 out of the 4 years I went and you could taste the iron in the water but you can’t blame the teachers on a lack of funding when other schools have lake side views in there libraries. I just wish some teachers didn’t have egos bigger than the dead space between there ears. They never understood they only knew what I wanted them to know and always gave surface level answers and called it a day. Mr. comrais is the only teacher that believes in education before a grade not because a student is lazy and doesn’t do there work but will recognize intelligence when he sees it and doesn’t succumb to the ridiculous and out dated district standards I’m sorry but I can’t take a place seriously when you can’t even provide paper. Priorities are a strange thing in that building. Close Quote

Audubon HS is a very diverse school, and the culture there is such that the students are all very respectful of their teachers and each other. The school is open to collaborating with other organizations, and the teachers and staff are excellent. I can't say enough about Audubon High. One teacher who really shines there is Marvin Williams. I am very impressed with the work of the student body there, especially since sometimes students from their income level have a hard time achieving in schools. Audubon seems to get past the barriers that those students face, and engage them in really valuable education that they can take with them in their lives moving forward. Close Quote
