Ronald Wilson Reagan College Preparatory High School (RWR) is a high school located at 4965 South 20th Street in the former Town of Lake neighborhood of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA. It shares the Sholes Complex with the I.D.E.A.L. Charter School, however the school is being relocated allowing Reagan full access of the building. Formerly known as Town of Lake College Preparatory High School, the school changed its name after former President Ronald Reagan died in June 2004. The renaming was approved by the Milwaukee Board of School Directors on September 29, 2004, with the official renaming ceremony taking place on June 3, 2005. Ronald Wilson Reagan College Preparatory High School became an IB World School two years ago. Reagan, as the students who attend the school call it, has an alternating day schedule. In 2012, Reagan received the Gold Status as the #197 best school in the United States and #2 in the state of Wisconsin, trailing only behind Rufus King High School (U.S. News Reports 2012).
