Summary:
Milwaukee Scholars Charter School is the sole school in the Milwaukee Scholars Charter School Inc district, serving grades PK-8 with 769 students. The district is ranked 414 out of 426 districts in Wisconsin and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.
Milwaukee Scholars Charter School's academic performance, as measured by the Forward Exam, is consistently well below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts ranged from 13.89% (3rd grade) to 36.96% (8th grade), compared to the state averages of 52.14% to 53.97%. The school's performance in Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science is also significantly below the state averages. Additionally, the school has a 1.3% dropout rate and a 17.7% chronic absenteeism rate, further indicating challenges in student engagement and success.
The school's high percentage of students (88.04%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, along with the relatively high spending per student of $20,832, suggests that the school is serving a population with significant economic disadvantages. This socioeconomic context may be a contributing factor to the school's low academic performance. To address these challenges, the school may benefit from targeted interventions and support, such as increased academic support, social-emotional learning programs, and family engagement initiatives, to improve student outcomes at Milwaukee Scholars Charter School.
