Tracking Student Success: New Data from Wisconsin DPI

3/23/2025

 
Picture
Earlier this month, Wisconsin’s Department of Public Instruction (DPI) released its latest data on high school completion, postsecondary enrollment, attendance, and more from the 2023-24 school year—along with fall enrollment figures for 2024-25.

While Kenosha County’s fall enrollment has declined for the seventh time in eight years, there are encouraging signs of progress: high school completion, postsecondary enrollment, and attendance rates continue to make incremental gains toward pre-pandemic levels.

Curious about how Kenosha’s student demographics and outcomes have shifted over time? Explore our Cradle-to-Career dashboard to uncover trends, insights, and opportunities for action.
