Last month, we launched the upgraded Kenosha County Overview Data Dashboard and highlighted the opening page, “Who Lives in Kenosha?”
This month, we’re spotlighting the Kenosha’s Schools page.
This interactive page features key metrics from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction’s 2025 school report cards. Users can filter by school to explore student demographics and outcomes that contribute to accountability ratings.
Why it matters: Understanding school data—alongside the broader community context—helps partners identify trends, ask deeper questions, and better align strategies to support student success.

Looking for deeper cradle-to-career outcomes data? Additional dashboards are available on the Building Our Future website.

It’s been a strong start to the year, and we’re excited to share a first look at our 2025 Annual Impact Report.

This report captures the work happening across our community to expand opportunity and drive results for children, youth, and families, from early learning through postsecondary pathways.

We’ll be heading to print this week, and over the next few weeks, we’ll be highlighting stories, partnerships, and progress from the report.

Take a look and follow along:

As part of the Regional FAFSA Network and ongoing partnership with KUSD schools, Bradford High School is taking a community-driven approach to increase FAFSA completion by partnering with the Boys & Girls Club of Kenosha and Building Our Future to meet students and families where they are.
On Wednesday, April 29 (5:00–7:00 PM), KUSD and RUSD seniors and their families are invited to the Boys & Girls Club Teen Center for one-on-one support completing FAFSA applications. This effort is strengthened through a collective impact approach, with additional partners including Junior Achievement, Succeed Beyond High School, Higher Expectations Racine County, and Gateway Technical College.
Why it matters: FAFSA completion is a key gateway to postsecondary access and persistence. Students who complete the FAFSA are more likely to stay engaged, graduate on time, and access financial resources that make college and career training possible. Each completed application represents an investment in students’ futures, economic mobility, and a stronger regional workforce.
