Whitehall’s public schools score below 66% of Wisconsin districts on tests and graduation

30% of students in Whitehall’s public schools are proficient in reading, below the Wisconsin average (38%). The grade covers the public school district serving Whitehall, from kindergarten through graduation, on state tests. Each state writes its own tests, so this is the one TownRatings grade compared within Wisconsin, not nationally.

From Wisconsin state tests taken in spring 2022, when 100% of students in the tested grades sat them, and the class of 2023’s four-year graduation rate, as reported to the U.S. Department of Education.
