Summary

Reagan College Preparatory High is a public high school in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, serving 1,349 students in grades 9-12. Despite being part of the Milwaukee School District, which is ranked 415 out of 426 districts in the state, Reagan College Preparatory High has consistently performed exceptionally well, ranking in the top 100 Wisconsin high schools for the past several years.

The school's academic performance is particularly impressive, with students consistently outperforming the Milwaukee School District and the state of Wisconsin in standardized test scores across subjects like social studies, English language arts, mathematics, and science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 59.51% of 10th-grade students at Reagan College Preparatory High were proficient or better in social studies, compared to just 21.73% for the Milwaukee School District and 47.67% for the state. The school's graduation rate is also exceptionally high, ranging from 90.4% to 98.4% over the past few years, consistently outperforming the district and state averages.

Interestingly, Reagan College Preparatory High has been able to achieve these exceptional outcomes despite serving a student population with a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients. This suggests that the school has effective strategies and resources in place to support students from low-income backgrounds and overcome socioeconomic challenges. In contrast, nearby schools within the Milwaukee School District generally perform significantly worse than Reagan College Preparatory High across various metrics, including test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism.
