Summary

West De Pere High is a 1,050-student public high school serving grades 9–12 in De Pere, Wisconsin, a suburban community just south of Green Bay, where it ranks 55th of 533 ranked high schools statewide — the top decile.

That standing has held for eight straight reporting years, at the 87th–91st percentile every year, up from the 72nd percentile in 2016-17. Completion outcomes sit far above state norms: a 96.4% graduation rate, a 0.1% dropout rate (against 1.1% statewide), and chronic absenteeism of 4.3% versus 17.3% statewide. Tenth-grade proficiency beats the state in every subject tested — about 25 points higher in math and 14–15 points higher in English language arts and science. The school's scores track its district, the West De Pere School District, almost exactly, meaning this is a system-wide pattern rather than a single-building effect.

Nearby comparisons are stark. De Pere High, 1.8 miles away, looks nearly identical on spending, class size, and English scores, yet reports 12.6% chronic absenteeism against West De Pere's 4.3%. High schools in the neighboring Green Bay Area Public School District spend more per student — roughly $15,500 to $21,400 versus West De Pere's $14,221 — while producing far lower proficiency. Within the same district, Phantom Knight School of Opportunity, a 22-student alternative program, reports 66.6% graduation and 34.8% chronic absenteeism, so district averages reflect the comprehensive high school far more than the alternative setting. The clearest remaining gap is economic: students from low-income families rank in the 71st percentile against the school's 90th overall.

Unfortunately I had to transfer from how often I was bullied and harassed here. I never felt safe here and there is often issues towards students who aren’t the top tier of popularity. West De Pere High is not even the best high school in its own city! Close Quote
