Best of the non-charter public schools in Racine. The IB Programme is rigorous and challenges students such as myself to do the best I can.

However, the school also has problems mostly due to an administrative standpoint. Disregarding the will of students, Racine Unified School District decided to force the "Academy System" upon all of us, forcing us to choose a career "pathway" at the end of Freshman year. The options for pathways are lacking, to say the least. For example, there are no pathways for the arts. The arts also get generally restricted due to the Pathway system, as a full year class is forced upon a student whether they want to take it or not. This is detrimental for any students that want to go into a career in the arts. The Pathway options at the time of writing this include things such as business management, child care, culinary, computer science, engineering, manufacturing, among some others.
