Summary

Reagan College Preparatory High is a grades 9–12 high school at 4965 S 20th St in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, serving 1,372 students as part of the Milwaukee School District, which ranks 418th of 432 districts in the state. Reagan College Preparatory High itself ranked 58th of 533 Wisconsin high schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 89th percentile with 4 stars — a large improvement over the 56th percentile it held in 2015–2016.

Student outcomes are dramatically stronger than district and nearby-school averages. In 2024–2025, Reagan's graduation rate was 98.8% and its dropout rate 0.2%, compared with 71.5% and 4.0% for the district and 92.0% and 1.1% statewide. Nearby same-district high schools such as Grandview High, Hamilton High, Bay View High, and Pulaski High graduate between 37.0% and 67.5% of students. In 2025–2026, 10th-grade proficiency was 68.54% in English language arts, 66.77% in social studies, 54.21% in science, and 52.34% in math — above state averages in every subject. Those ELA and social studies results slightly exceed Greendale High, a nearby suburban school, while math and science trail it.

Reagan also ranks in the top 10% of Wisconsin high schools for several student groups, including English language learners, low-income students, Hispanic students, and African American students, who ranked 1st of 84 statewide. The clearest gap is special education students, who ranked in the 43rd percentile with 2 stars in 2025–2026 — better than 22nd percentile the year before, but still well below the school's overall results. Chronic absenteeism, at 19.7%, is far lower than the district's 46.2% and nearby same-district high schools (roughly 42% to 86%), though slightly above Wisconsin's 17.3%. Reagan spends $18,985 per student with a 20.9 student-teacher ratio — less than most nearby same-district high schools — while serving a majority low-income population.
