Watertown Unified School District

The Watertown Unified School District in Wisconsin encompasses 9 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district serves a diverse student population and has a mix of high-performing and struggling schools.

Among the standout schools in the district are Webster Elementary, which consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, and LEAP Elementary, which also performs exceptionally well. The district's charter school, Endeavor Charter School, is a particularly strong performer, ranking 5th out of 431 Wisconsin high schools and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

However, the data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the district. While some schools, like Webster Elementary and Endeavor Charter School, excel, others, such as Schurz Elementary and Douglas Elementary, struggle to meet state proficiency standards. The district should investigate the factors contributing to these differences and develop targeted strategies to address the needs of all students, ensuring equitable access to high-quality education.
