Tremper High

Summary:

Tremper High is a public high school located in Kenosha, Wisconsin, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,540 students. Unfortunately, this school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Wisconsin high schools, maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past 7 years, with a 0-star rating in the 2022-2023 school year.

Tremper High's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students, as well as low-socioeconomic status students, all of whom rank in the bottom 20-25% of Wisconsin high schools. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments are significantly below the state and Kenosha School District averages across all subject areas, ranging from 26.57% in mathematics to 36.22% in social studies, compared to the state averages of 42.37% and 45.08%, respectively. Additionally, Tremper High has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, with 41.9% of students classified as chronically absent in the 2022-2023 school year, significantly higher than the state average.

Compared to other high schools in the Kenosha School District, such as Lakeview Technology Academy, which consistently ranks in the top 5% of Wisconsin high schools, Tremper High performs significantly worse across various metrics, including academic achievement, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism. This disparity may be partly attributed to the school's relatively high percentage of students (45.26% in 2022-2023) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
