Walden III High School is the top performer, ranked 208 out of 431 Wisconsin high schools and boasting a 91.0% four-year graduation rate, well above the district and state averages. The school also outperforms the district and state on several academic measures, including proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science. In contrast, the elementary and middle schools in the data set struggle, with proficiency rates typically in the 10-30% range for core subjects.
Another standout is Starbuck - An IB World School, the highest-ranked middle school in the data set at 548 out of 628 Wisconsin middle schools. Starbuck has a relatively low 1.3% dropout rate and outperforms the district and state on English Language Arts measures. However, the schools in the 53405 zip code area generally face challenges, including high rates of economic disadvantage, chronic absenteeism, and overall underperformance compared to state averages, suggesting the need for a comprehensive approach to address the systemic issues within the Racine Unified School District.
