SHALOM HIGH SCHOOL

Shalom High is a Title I public high school that is part of the Milwaukee School District school district, located in Milwaukee, WI with about 119 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 3 teachers, Shalom High has a student/teacher ratio of about 39:1. 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.

Shalom High School is an alternative educational program located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, operating under the umbrella of the Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) district. Situated on North 16th Street, the school is specifically designed to support students who may benefit from a non-traditional learning environment.

By leveraging the resources of the Milwaukee Public Schools system, Shalom High emphasizes a supportive culture aimed at helping students overcome academic or personal barriers. The school’s mission generally centers on fostering student success, improving attendance, and ensuring that all students remain on track to earn their diplomas. Through smaller class sizes and specialized instruction, the school provides a structured yet adaptive environment for the youth of the Milwaukee community.
