Summary:
Zip code 54773 in Whitehall, Wisconsin is served by two public schools, both part of the Whitehall School District: Whitehall Memorial Elementary (PK–5, 439 students) and Whitehall Memorial Junior/Senior High (6–12, 321 students), together enrolling 760 students with no stand-alone middle or alternative school. The district is rated 370th of 432 Wisconsin districts (14th percentile, 1 star).
The junior/senior high stands out most for completion and engagement: a 100.0% graduation rate versus the state's 92.0%, a 0.0% dropout rate versus 1.1%, and chronic absenteeism of just 1.6% against 7.7% district-wide and 17.3% statewide. Math was a bright spot in 2024–2025, with 7th grade at 69.64% and 8th grade at 70.21% proficient, and 8th grade social studies reached 74.14% in 2025–2026. ACT results that year were weak, though: 29.82% in ELA, 29.82% in math, and 22.81% in science, versus state marks of 48.47%, 42.93%, and 43.2%. The elementary is mixed: 5th grade ELA hit 62.96% in 2025–2026 (state 53.63%), but 3rd grade math (32.14%) and 3rd grade ELA (39.29%) fell well below state.
Comparing the two, the high school spends $18,644 per student versus $14,871 at the elementary — about 25.4% more — with a lower student-to-teacher ratio (11.1 vs 13.0) and far lower chronic absenteeism (1.6% vs 12.6%, still below the state's 17.3%). Rank histories differ: the elementary has held steady at 2 stars and the 31st–38th percentile, while the high school reached 2 stars and the 38th percentile in 2024–2025 before slipping to 1 star and the 28th percentile in 2025–2026. Both schools' 2025–2026 Forward Exam averages ran roughly 7 points below state. One data note: the elementary's file includes 6th grade results in 2024–2025 despite its PK–5 listing, which is worth verifying.
