Racine Unified School District

The Racine Unified School District consists of 23 schools, including 16 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 5 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district as a whole is ranked 413 out of 428 school districts in Wisconsin and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

A few schools stand out in the district. Walden III High School ranks 219 out of 431 Wisconsin high schools and is rated 2 stars, with a 95.1% four-year graduation rate and only a 0.1% dropout rate. The REAL School also has a high 95.4% four-year graduation rate and 0.2% dropout rate, ranking 382 out of 431 high schools and rated 1 star. At the elementary level, RUSD Montessori and Schulte School stand out with strong test scores that exceed district and state averages.

However, the data also reveals significant disparities in performance and outcomes across the district. Graduation rates range from 82.1% to 95.4%, and chronic absenteeism rates vary widely from 15.3% to 60.8%. Test scores are generally lower than state averages, with a clear correlation between a school's performance and the socioeconomic status of its student population. This suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to address the specific challenges faced by the lower-performing schools in the district.
