Summary:
ZIP code 54216 contains one public high school, Kewaunee High, which serves grades 9–12 in the Kewaunee School District with 284 students. This small, mid-ranked Wisconsin high school has a 13.2 student-teacher ratio, 33.1% free/reduced-price lunch participation, and $17,253 per-student spending for 2024–2025.
Kewaunee High’s clearest strength is math: 50% proficiency in 2025–2026 and 63.64% in 2024–2025, both above state averages of 42.93% and 42.73%. Its dropout rate is very low at 0.3%, well under the state’s 1.1%, and chronic absenteeism is 16.3%, below the state’s 17.3% but higher than the district’s 9.5%. The school’s rank improved from the 19th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 49th percentile in 2025–2026. Concerns include ELA proficiency falling to 34.38% in 2025–2026, below the state’s 48.47%, and science dropping to 37.5%, below the state’s 43.2%. Social studies was volatile: 30.65% in 2024–2025, then 54.1% in 2025–2026.
Graduation is essentially at district and state levels: 91.5% vs. 91.6% district and 92.0% state. ACT ELA, math, and science scores are identical to district values in both years, suggesting the district figures may be driven entirely by this high school. Overall, families will find a small school with strong math results, low dropout, and recent declines in ELA and science. The school remains mid-ranked, and its 2025–2026 percentile is a fairer comparison than raw rank because the number of ranked schools grew.
