Summary

Walden III High is a grade 6–12 school on Mohr Avenue in Racine, Wisconsin, serving 692 students in the Racine Unified School District, and it ranks higher than any other school in its immediate area. Its biggest story is a long slide in statewide standing: from 2015-16 through 2021-22 it sat between the 71st and 91st percentile every year, including a 5-star, 91st-percentile year in 2020-21, before falling to the 40th percentile in 2022-23, 49th in 2023-24, a partial recovery to 52nd (3 stars) in 2024-25, and back down to 43rd (2 stars, 303rd of 533) in 2025-26.

What hasn't slipped is how many students finish. Graduation ran 94–100% over the past five years (94.4% in 2024-25), well above the district's roughly 82% and the state's 92%, and the dropout rate has never exceeded 0.5%. Chronic absenteeism is 20.8% — less than half the rate at Bradford High (42.7%), Horlick High (56.7%) and Park High (57.6%), the last only about two-thirds of a mile away. In grade 10, ACT ELA (53.62%) and social studies (55.32%) proficiency beat both the state and every nearby peer.

Two things to watch. Grades 6–8 look like a different school: middle-school math proficiency has not topped 34% in any grade in four years and trails the state by 20–50 points, grade 8 science and social studies lag as well, and ACT math fell to 18.84% in 2025-26 from 38.64%. And subgroup rankings have eroded — some groups the school previously served at a high level dropped sharply in 2025-26. Even so, Walden III spends less per student than Case High, Park and Horlick while outranking them all; only The REAL School, its closest true peer, is competitive on completion measures.
