Case High

Summary:

Case High is a public high school located in Racine, Wisconsin, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,884 students. Unfortunately, this school has consistently struggled, ranking in the bottom quartile of Wisconsin high schools and receiving a 0-star or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is among the lowest-performing high schools in the state.

Case High's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students, who rank in the bottom 25% of Wisconsin high schools in these categories. In contrast, the school's Asian and multi-racial student subgroups perform relatively better, ranking in the middle to upper half of Wisconsin high schools. Academically, Case High's proficiency rates on state assessments are significantly below the state and Racine Unified School District averages across all subject areas. The school's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 84.2% to 88.2% over the past 5 years, which is lower than the state and district averages, and its dropout rate has been between 1.3% and 3.0% during the same period, which is higher than the state and district averages.

Interestingly, the other high schools in the Racine Unified School District (Horlick High, Walden III High, and Park High) also perform poorly, with similar low rankings, academic achievement, and high rates of chronic absenteeism and free/reduced-price lunch eligibility. In contrast, Walden III High, a public charter school within the district, has significantly higher academic performance and graduation rates compared to the other Racine Unified high schools. Despite Case High's higher spending per student ($13,359 in 2020-2021) compared to the state average, its academic outcomes and other key metrics are still among the lowest in the state.

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.

Open Quote Very poor admin that tried to be friends with students in 2017-18 school year. Disorganized athletics. Lots of last second changes administratively with female administrator having secret female student meetings hearing gossip and enabling. Curriculum is watered down. Close Quote

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.
