Summary

East High is a 9–12 high school in West Bend, Wisconsin, serving 854 students as part of the West Bend School District, which ranks 125th of 432 districts statewide. East High ranks 100th of 533 Wisconsin high schools in 2025–2026 — the 81st percentile, a 4-star rating, and its best showing since 2021–2022. About 25.64% of students were eligible for free or reduced lunch in 2024–2025, per-student spending was $15,307, and the student-teacher ratio was 15.7.

In 2025–2026, East High scored above both its district and the state in all four tested 10th-grade subjects. Mathematics is the standout at 65.91% proficient — nearly 23 points above the state and 6.2 points above the district — and competitive with nearby schools. English language arts (57.95%), social studies (53.29%), and science (50.57%) were also above district and state, though science trails most top-performing nearby schools. Graduation outcomes are excellent: a 98.1% graduation rate and a 0.3% dropout rate, both above district and state. Chronic absenteeism is the clearest weakness at 14.9% — better than the state (17.3%) but well above the district's 8.8%. Compared with West High, East leads in every subject, state rank, graduation, and dropout, and has more spending per student ($15,307 vs. $13,679) and a smaller student-teacher ratio (15.7 vs. 19.7); West's one advantage is lower absenteeism (12.4%).

Nearby Cedarburg High, Slinger High, Grafton High, and Port Washington High rank higher overall, but most serve far fewer economically disadvantaged students — Cedarburg's free/reduced lunch rate is 8.57% versus East's 25.64% — which makes East's above-state scores and strong graduation rate notable. East's results for specific student groups have improved: students from low-income families rose to the 79th percentile statewide and male students to the 74th, while female students remain at the 85th. The clearest opportunities are continued support for Hispanic students (38th percentile) and special education students (55th percentile), along with reducing absenteeism and strengthening science and social studies.
