Original Research by School Decision on Union Grove High
Union Grove High is a regular public high school serving grades nine through twelve in the village of Union Grove, Wisconsin. The school has a sizable enrollment for a single high school in a small village, with the student body distributed fairly evenly across the four grade levels. The student population is predominantly white, with a modest Hispanic share and very small numbers of Black, Asian, multiracial, Native American, and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander students. A relatively small share of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, placing the school well below typical poverty levels for public secondary schools. Data on special education and English learner populations was not available, so the profile in those areas is incomplete.
Union Grove is a small village in central Racine County that combines residential neighborhoods with a base of local businesses. Agriculture has a place in its heritage, but today the village is largely a commuter community with easy highway access to Milwaukee and Chicago via Interstate 94. The downtown along Main Street is described as quaint and traditional, and the overall built environment is low-density and auto-oriented. Major employers include American Roller, Custom Truck One Source, Oak Ridge Care Center, and Shepherds Ministries. The Racine County Fairgrounds and the nearby Wisconsin Veterans Home are notable civic anchors. Home values in the village stand above both the state and national medians, while rents are moderate enough that the typical rent-to-income ratio is below the national norm, meaning housing remains relatively accessible for many families. The village has grown steadily over recent decades, and publicly reported sources characterize it as a growing community. The district itself, Union Grove UHS School District, appears stable; a search for recent parent-relevant changes found nothing to report.
No state testing data was available for Union Grove High, so we cannot describe the school’s academic performance in math, English, or other subjects. A parent should ask the school or district for this information directly. The graduation rate was also not reported in the data provided. Likewise, information on course offerings — Advanced Placement, dual credit, career and technical pathways, or any specialized programs — was absent. Families will need to contact the school to learn about the breadth of its curriculum and any opportunities for college credit or workforce preparation.
Civil rights data, including discipline, attendance, and staffing, was not provided, so a picture of school environment and student support cannot be drawn here. Because academic and outcome metrics are missing, Union Grove High cannot be compared to other schools or districts in Racine County on test scores or graduation rates.
What is clear: Union Grove High serves a predominantly white, relatively low-poverty student body in a small village that is affordable by regional standards and convenient for commuters. The academic programming that drives student experience and outcomes is not documented in the available data, making direct inquiry essential for any family evaluating the school.
