Summary:
Hillcrest School is a small public high school serving grades 6-12 in Kenosha, Wisconsin, part of the Kenosha School District, which is ranked 352 out of 428 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Despite having a very low student-teacher ratio, Hillcrest School is struggling significantly, with 0% of students proficient or better in core subjects, extremely high dropout and chronic absenteeism rates, and declining graduation rates. In fact, Hillcrest's performance lags far behind nearby schools like Case High, Lakeview Technology Academy, and Tremper High, which have higher test scores, graduation rates, and lower dropout and chronic absenteeism. Interestingly, Hillcrest School spends significantly more per student, ranging from $32,698 to $33,873, compared to the $11,597 to $18,396 spent by nearby schools, but this higher spending does not translate to better outcomes for students.
The combination of high poverty levels, with 91.67% to 94.55% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, along with the high chronic absenteeism and low test scores, suggests that Hillcrest School may be facing significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students. A comprehensive review and intervention may be necessary to address the underlying issues and improve educational outcomes for the students at this struggling school.
