School of Recognition
For the second year in a row, Reagan High School has earned a prestigious Wisconsin Title I School of Recognition “Beating the Odds” Award.
According to the Wisconsin Dept. of Public Instruction, we have achieved America’s accountability measures and Wisconsin’s goal to close college and career readiness gaps. Schools which are deemed as “Beating the Odds” are:
- are in the top 25 percent of high-poverty schools in the state, and
- have above-average student achievement in reading and mathematics
This award comes on the heels of the U.S. News & World Report’s Best High Schools award which ranked Reagan High School as #3 in the State of Wisconsin.
