Summary:
ZIP code 53143 is home to five elementary-level schools — two PK–8 academies and three PK–5 elementaries — all within Kenosha School District, which ranks 340 of 432 in Wisconsin at the 21st percentile with 1 star. Together these schools enroll 2,625 students, and they split sharply: two rank in the top half of Wisconsin schools, while three sit well below both district and state levels.
Ruth Harman Academy is the clearest standout, ranking 465 of 1,039 (55th percentile, 3 stars) after climbing from 35th percentile and 2 stars in 2023–2024. It posts the group's lowest chronic absenteeism (12.0%, versus 27.6% district and 17.3% state), lowest free/reduced lunch rate (37.0%), lowest student-teacher ratio (11.6), and lowest per-student spending ($13,904). Lakeview K-8 Academy is the other strong performer: 446 of 1,039 (57th percentile, 3 stars), stable across three years, with the largest enrollment (988) and particular strength in Social Studies and Science.
At the other end, Brass Community School ranks 984 of 1,039 (5th percentile, 0 stars), with the highest absenteeism (38.5%) and free/reduced lunch rate (87.88%). Southport Elementary ranks 898 of 1,039 (14th percentile, 1 star), and Grewenow Elementary ranks 832 of 1,039 (20th percentile, 1 star) after slipping from 35th percentile and 2 stars, though its 4th grade Math (56.67%) beats state. Math is a broad weakness in the lower-performing schools, and the proficiency gap between Ruth Harman and Brass is roughly 44 percentage points.
