West Bend West High School is located in the same building as West Bend East
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. Birthdates of July 31, August 31, October 31, and December 31 are assigned to West High School. Birthdates of January 31, March 31, and May 31 are assigned to East High School.

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 West 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.
