The city of West Bend, Wisconsin has two different high schools, West and East, located on the same campus.
Although the schools have different students, teachers, principals, and sports teams, they share the same building. They also share an auditorium, music department, gymnasium complex, and natatorium. In athletics, both East and West participate in the Little Ten Conference. The mascots for the schools are the West Bend West Spartans and the West Bend East Suns. Recently there has been debate about whether to merge the two schools.

For all incoming freshmen without any older siblings, the determination as to which school a student attends is made using birth dates. Students born on even-numbered dates attend West Bend East. Those born on odd-numbered dates attend West Bend West. Students with brothers or sisters already in high school follow their eldest sibling so that all children from a family attend the same high school.
A problem with this method is that there are seven more odd days than even days in a year. A proposed solution was to make three odd days honorary even days.
