Summary

The Academy of Accelerated Learning is an elementary school located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 538 students. It is part of the Milwaukee School District, which is ranked 415 out of 426 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Wisconsin elementary schools, its academic performance is significantly better than the Milwaukee School District average across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts (52.63%) and Mathematics (55.26%) were over 30 percentage points higher than the district average. The school also outperforms the district in other subjects like Social Studies and Science. Additionally, the school performs particularly well for certain student subgroups, such as African American students and English Language Learners, ranking 34th and 45th out of Wisconsin elementary schools, respectively, in 2022-2023.

However, the school faces significant challenges, particularly related to student attendance and socioeconomic factors. The school has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.7% to 50.4% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 69.54% to 75.65% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch over the past few years. Addressing these root causes could be key to improving the school's overall performance and outcomes.
