SCHOOL FOR ARTS AND PERFORMANCE

School for Arts and Performance is a Title I public charter high school that is part of the Kettle Moraine School District school district, located in Wales, WI with about 150 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 8 teachers, School for Arts and Performance has a student/teacher ratio of about 18:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The **School for Arts and Performance (KM Perform)** is a specialized charter school located in Wales, Wisconsin, operating under the Kettle Moraine School District. Designed for students in grades 9–12, the school offers a unique educational model that emphasizes the integration of rigorous core academics with a deep, conservatory-style focus on the fine and performing arts. By prioritizing creativity, collaboration, and individual expression, the school aims to prepare students for both collegiate pursuits and professional careers within the artistic industries.

The program is defined by its personalized approach, allowing students to tailor their learning experiences to their specific artistic passions—ranging from visual arts and music to theater and dance. Because it is part of a larger district framework, KM Perform fosters a small, supportive community environment while still providing access to the resources of a comprehensive school system. Through a blend of project-based learning and performance-based assessment, the school encourages students to develop not only technical proficiency in their craft but also critical thinking and self-discipline skills necessary for success in any field.
