ZIP code 53144 in Kenosha, Wisconsin contains three schools classified as High in this data set: two comprehensive 9–12 high schools, Indian Trail High School and Academy and Bradford High, plus Hillcrest School, which serves grades 6–12. All three belong to Kenosha School District, which ranks 340 of 432 Wisconsin districts, at the 21st percentile with 1 star. Total enrollment across the three schools is 3,463.

Indian Trail is the clear academic standout. With 1,902 students, it has the highest graduation rate, 95.8% — above the district's 91.4% and the state's 92.0% — the lowest dropout rate, 1.4%, and the lowest chronic absenteeism, 28.9%. It earns the best latest rank, 327 of 533 (39th percentile, 2 stars), improving from 1 star. It outperforms the district in all four 2025–26 subjects and sits essentially at the state ACT ELA level (48.45% vs. 48.47%), though it remains below state in Math, Science, and Social Studies.

Bradford, with 1,453 students, faces broader challenges: graduation is 86.2%, dropout 2.3%, and chronic absenteeism 42.7%, more than double the state's 17.3%. Its proficiency is below district and state in every subject, and it ranks 470 of 533 (12th percentile, 1 star). Hillcrest is the small outlier — 108 students, the highest free/reduced lunch rate (72.22%), highest spending per student ($22,685), and lowest student-teacher ratio (6.8), yet the lowest graduation (64.8%), highest dropout (8.0%), and highest absenteeism (55.6%). Its test results are highly uneven: 0% in ACT ELA and Math, 20% in Forward Social Studies, and 50% in ACT Science, showing how volatile small cohorts can be.
