Today's Milwaukee weather: 56°


 
Commitment to Education
Milwaukee and Wisconsin are noted for having a well-educated workforce with a strong work ethic. According to 2000 census statistics, 85% of Milwaukee's working-age population are high school graduates, while 27% are college graduates -- both higher than national averages.




K-12 Public Schools
Wisconsin students are among the brightest in the nation. Their scores rank among the highest on knowledge and concept examinations given in grades four, six, eight, and 10. In 2001, Wisconsin high school seniors received an average score of 22.2 on the ACT college preparatory examination, the highest score among states where the ACT is the primary college admission test. The score is also above the national average of 21.0.

Some of Greater Milwaukee's public schools do not have web sites yet. For more information look at the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction's Public School District Directory & Websites. http://www.dpi.state.wi.us/dpi/schldist.html
