Summary

Escuela Verde is a public charter high school in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, serving 120 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Trans Center for Youth Inc. district, which is ranked 425 out of 426 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Escuela Verde has shown relatively strong graduation rates, ranging from 76.6% to 95.6% in recent years, which is higher than the state average and the rates of some nearby schools like South Division High, Milwaukee High School of the Arts, and Carmen High School of Science and Technology South Campus. However, Escuela Verde has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.7% to 54.2%, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages. Additionally, the school's test scores are consistently lower than the state and district averages, with only 22.22% of 10th-grade students proficient or better in Social Studies, compared to the state average of 47.67%.

Escuela Verde's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 81.67% to 96.67% in recent years, indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's spending per student has increased over the years, from $10,590 in 2018-2019 to $12,526 in 2020-2021, but this is still lower than the spending at some nearby schools. Addressing the challenges facing Escuela Verde, such as low performance, high chronic absenteeism, and economic disadvantage, will likely require a multi-faceted approach, including targeted interventions, increased resources, and collaboration with the broader community.
