High School of Health Sciences 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 166 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 7 teachers, High School of Health Sciences has a student/teacher ratio of about 23:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1.
