Our Schools

West Bend East High School is located in the same building at West Bend West
High School. Having two high schools in one building provides economies of scale that
results in more class choices, clubs, co-curriculars, and athletics that are not available
at most area high schools.

The high school to which students are assigned is based on the birthdate of the oldest
child in the family. If that date is an even number, the children attend East High School.
If that date is an uneven number, they attend West High School. January 31, March 31,
and May 31 are considered even birth dates and assigned to East High School.

Review the West Bend School Board Policy #432 on school attendance for more
information, including intra-district transfer details.

Our Academics

Students have a wide variety of classes to choose from and distinct opportunities to prepare for the career of their choice. The wealth of Career and Technical Education classes not only cover several interest areas, but includes a variety of clubs related to CTE.

There are various ways for students to gain college credit while in high school. We offer 24 Advanced Placement classes (two additional courses will be added in 2023-2024), and other opportunities in the Career Prep, Early College Credit, and Start College Now programs.

The 2022-2023 Course Planning Guide provides a detailed view of all the classes and related details.

Learning takes place in a variety of situations, environments, and locations. Through the West Bend Virtual Academy, a program within West Bend Schools, students have access to a virtual education opportunity to meet their needs.

Our AP Results

As of October 2023, of 400 eligible Wisconsin schools, just 24% earned a place on the 2023 AP School Honor Roll. West Bend East High School earned the Bronze level of distinction.

The AP School Honor Roll recognizes schools whose AP programs are delivering wide-reaching results for their students including:

• 40% or more of graduating cohort took at least 1 AP Exam during high school.
• 25% or more of the graduating cohort scored a 3 or higher on at least 1 AP Exam during high school.
• 2% or more of the graduating cohort took 5 or more AP Exams during high school. At least 1 of those exams was taken in 9th or 10th grade, so that students are spreading their AP experience across grades rather than feeling disproportionate pressure in any single year.
