Whitewater Unified School District

The Whitewater Unified School District in Wisconsin consists of 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals significant performance gaps between the highest-performing and lowest-performing schools in the district, particularly in standardized test scores.

Washington Elementary stands out as the top-performing school, consistently scoring above the district and state averages on standardized tests, with 50-60% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics. It also has the highest 4-year graduation rate among the elementary schools at 62.5%. In contrast, Lincoln Elementary and Whitewater High lag behind, with lower test scores and performance metrics.

The data also highlights the potential impact of socioeconomic factors on student achievement, as the schools with the highest rates of free/reduced lunch recipients tend to have lower test scores and other performance metrics. Additionally, the district may need to address the high rates of chronic absenteeism, particularly at Whitewater High and Lakeview Elementary, which could be contributing to the lower academic performance in those schools.
