West De Pere School District

The West De Pere School District in Wisconsin operates 6 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools (one of which is a public charter school). The district is generally performing well, with several standout schools that rank among the top in the state.

Hemlock Creek Elementary consistently ranks as one of the top elementary schools in Wisconsin, with strong test scores and a low chronic absenteeism rate. In contrast, Westwood Elementary performs below the district and state averages in several areas, suggesting an opportunity for the district to address this disparity. The district's high schools, particularly West De Pere High, are exceptional performers, with exceptional graduation rates, low dropout rates, and high test scores.

The Phantom Knight School of Opportunity, a charter high school, stands out for its focus on serving at-risk students, maintaining a commendable 91.6% four-year graduation rate despite facing challenges with chronic absenteeism. The district's per-student spending varies across the schools, with the high school and middle schools receiving higher funding than the elementary schools, an area the district may want to examine to ensure equitable resource allocation.
