Whitehall School District

The Whitehall School District in Wisconsin serves students from elementary through high school, with two schools in the district: Whitehall Memorial Elementary and Whitehall Memorial Junior/Senior High. While the district as a whole is ranked 274 out of 428 districts in Wisconsin and rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, the data reveals some standout strengths and areas for improvement across the two schools.

The Whitehall Memorial Junior/Senior High stands out with an impressive 98.1% 4-year graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate, along with strong performance on state assessments, particularly in 8th grade Mathematics and Science. In contrast, Whitehall Memorial Elementary has lower proficiency rates compared to state averages, though the school has shown some improvement in 5th grade Mathematics. The significant difference in chronic absenteeism rates between the elementary school (11.7%) and the high school (16.2%) is an area that warrants further investigation.

Both schools serve a population with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by the relatively high free/reduced lunch rates (over 44%). The higher per-student spending at the high school level ($14,490) compared to the elementary level ($12,352) is an interesting finding that could be explored further to understand the resource allocation and priorities within the district. Overall, the data provides valuable insights to guide targeted interventions and support to enhance student outcomes across the Whitehall School District.
