Academics
ACT ACHIEVEMENT
Students at NEW Lutheran High consistently achieve at outstanding levels, being prepared in all subject areas for academic life after their high school years.
One way that we are able to compare our student performance is to track the data that is shared with all high schools across the state of Wisconsin through the ACT battery of tests. The ACT test in one of the primary indicators for colleges and universities to use in the admissions process.
For the past 10 years, NEW Lutheran High has been one of the highest achieving schools according to average ACT scores. Our class of 2017 had a composite score of 25.3 which was over 5 full points higher than the state average and higher, ranking NEWLHS as the #1 school in Northeastern WI for ACT scores!
Another important fact to note about the ACT test administration at NEW Lutheran is that annually, 95% or more of our students take this exam and our composite score is based on the scores of every student taking the test.
In addition to our proven record of academic success, Lutheran High received the ACT Red Quill Award in 2008 for excellence in academic achievement. In 2011, NEWLHS received the ACT Red Quill Legacy Award for continuous progress and sustained achievement over time.

AP & COLLEGE/DUAL CREDIT COURSES
Lutheran High is proud to offer a variety of opportunities for our students to earn college credits while still in high school. Whether it's an online course, Advanced Placement courses taught on campus or online, a cohort program on our campus, or off-site opportunities, our students can earn upwards of 20-25 college credits from fully accredited programs that will transfer to the college or university of their choosing - nearly a full year of college. This helps our students get a leg up on their post-secondary education saving families thousands of dollars in tuition in the process.
For more information, contact our Principal at 469.6810.
Our university partners:
Grand Canyon University - Phoenix, AZ (online dual credit)

Concordia Promise
Through a partnership with Concordia University Wisconsin in Mequon, our students are able to take online dual credit courses at a greatly reduced rate of $150 per class or $50 per credit hour.
The Concordia Promise Plus offers something more.....as an added benefit, all course fees will be completely refunded to the family should the student attend full-time either at Concordia University Wisconsin or Ann Arbor, MI. This can mean the motivated student can earn up to a full year of college education for free!

CLASS SIZES
The key to a terrific education is to partner with parents to insure the success of every student. At NEW Lutheran High, we take great strides to make sure we have clear communication with our students and families. We are able to do this effectively by keeping class sizes at appropriate levels.
Current class sizes are 1 teacher to every 14 students (14:1). Lower teacher to student ratios mean that every student has more attention and can develop deeper relationships with the adults in the building.
To experience the culture of our school and to see the difference that smaller class sizes make when it comes to academic success through meaningful relationships, please contact our school office at 469-6810 to schedule a time to tour our campus. We look forward to your visit!
WHERE OUR STUDENTS GO
Our students are academically prepared to meet the challenges presented to them in college but, more importantly, they have learned what it means to defend their faith in Jesus. Because of their efforts in the classroom, most of our students attend 4 Year colleges and universities. We also have graduates that choose to attend 2 year community colleges for specialized education and still others that choose to enter the military or the work force upon graduation. Whatever our students choose, we are proud of them and continue to support them as young Christian leaders.
