TRANSITION HIGH SCHOOL

Transition High is a Title I public high school that is part of the Milwaukee School District school district, located in Milwaukee, WI with about 183 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 12 teachers, Transition High has a student/teacher ratio of about 15:1. 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.

Transition High School, located at 1940 N 36th St in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is a specialized educational institution operating within the Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) district. The school is designed to serve as a bridge for students who need a unique environment to successfully complete their secondary education. By focusing on individualized attention and a structured approach to learning, the school aims to help students overcome academic or personal obstacles and move toward graduation or further educational opportunities.

The school’s curriculum and culture are tailored to support students who may benefit from an alternative setting rather than a traditional high school experience. As part of the broader Milwaukee Public Schools system, Transition High adheres to district-wide standards while providing the specific resources necessary to help its student body stay on track.
