Summary:
The 53190 zip code area has only one high school, Whitewater High, which is part of the Whitewater Unified School District. Based on the available data, Whitewater High appears to be an underperforming school, ranking 323 out of 431 Wisconsin high schools for the 2024-2025 school year and earning a low 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Whitewater High's academic performance on standardized tests is consistently below the state average across multiple subjects, including social studies, English language arts, mathematics, and science. The school's four-year graduation rate of 91.0% and dropout rate of 1.3% for the 2023-2024 school year are relatively strong, but its chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% is higher than desired. Additionally, a significant portion of the student population (44.54%) receives free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a sizable economically disadvantaged student population that may require targeted support.
Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.7 students per teacher and high spending per student of $16,073 for the 2020-2021 school year, these resources do not appear to be translating into strong academic outcomes. This suggests a need for the school and district to evaluate the effectiveness of their resource allocation and utilization strategies to better support student achievement and overall school performance.
