Application Process

Application

Reuther is an alternative high school in KUSD that can provide; academic support for struggling learners, a smaller setting (20 or less in each class) for students that may deal with social/emotional issues like anxiety, and teachers that strive to build relationships with students to best support their learning.  When students are reviewed for admission the main factor taken into consideration is your student’s behavior record.  Reuther is a school that many students choose to attend to get away from distractions in the classroom so they can receive the support they need to be successful. We do not expect a perfect behavior record but students with repeat behaviors of disrupting the classroom and disrespect to staff are many times not accepted until improved behavior is shown at their boundary school. If you have specific questions regarding your student’s behavior record, please email Jon Otto at jotto@kusd.edu.

If you are interested in pursuing Reuther Central High School please have a parent/guardian fill out the Reuther Application. You can drop it off or mail it to Reuther Central High School, Attention: Applications, 913 57th St, Kenosha, WI 53140 or email it to ReutherReg@kusd.edu or fax #262-359-6281. Once the application is received Jon Otto will reach out with more information. If you have any questions, please call the Reuther Main Office at 262-359-6160.
