Whitefish Bay High School, where the average SAT score is 1340, was ranked the best public high school in Wisconsin, according to a review of school data by the website 24/7 Wall St.
The school has an enrollment of 970 students and its average graduation rate stood at 92 percent, the analysis said. 24/7 Wall St. reviewed information from the data clearinghouse Niche, including teacher absenteeism, test scores and parent surveys, to carry out the study.
Only about one-third of public school students entering high schools around the nation are ranked proficient in math, the National Assessment of Educational Progress reports. And 32 percent of those students are considered proficient in reading, the analysis states.
Nearly 50 percent of the schools on the list are classified as charter or magnet schools, according to the study. Such schools tend to be more selective in admissions and receive additional funds through private donations, 24/7 Wall St. reported.
Such schools also tend to be in relatively higher-income areas where parents and adults more often have a bachelor’s degree than the nation as a whole, according to the analysis.
