Summary:
ZIP code 53140 has three high schools serving grades 6–12 or 9–12 — Harborside Academy, Lakeview Technology Academy, and Reuther Central High — all part of the Kenosha School District, with about 1,321 students combined. Although all three share the same district-level profile, their individual results could hardly be more different, so comparing them school by school matters more than relying on the district average.
Lakeview Technology Academy is the clear standout: 92nd percentile with 5 stars in 2025–26 and 99th percentile in 2024–25, with a 97.9% graduation rate, no dropouts, and ACT and Social Studies 10 scores far above both district and state averages. Reuther Central High is the opposite case — 6th percentile with 0 stars, a 84.1% graduation rate, 3.6% dropout rate, 66.2% chronic absenteeism (nearly four times the state rate), and test scores far below district and state. Harborside Academy sits in the middle and is improving, moving from the 27th to the 42nd percentile, with a 100% graduation rate and no dropouts; note that it serves grades 6–8 as well, so its middle-school exam results are not directly comparable to the other two.
A few patterns stand out. Higher per-student spending and smaller classes do not automatically mean better results: Reuther spends the most ($16,083) and posts the weakest outcomes, while Lakeview spends the least ($13,024) with the strongest. The school with the highest free/reduced lunch rate and chronic absenteeism also has the lowest proficiency, graduation, and highest dropout figures. All three schools exceed the state chronic absenteeism rate of 17.3%.
