Summary

About 80.17% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, down from 90.91% in 2022–2023, and chronic absenteeism is 70.7%. Reported proficiency is below state averages in every subject, with math especially stark.

On 2025–2026 tests, Escuela Verde reported 0% proficient in 10th-grade ACT math, far below Wisconsin’s 42.93% and below nearby schools with reported math scores, including South Division High (1.99%) and Project STAY (16.67%). Social studies is comparatively stronger at 23.53%, ahead of South Division, Project STAY, and Pathways High (21.05%), but behind Milwaukee High School of the Arts (25.27%) and Carmen High School of Science and Technology South Campus (32.99%). ELA is 9.68%, and science is 14.29%. The 2024–2025 graduation rate was 73.0%, above the Milwaukee School District average of 71.5% and above many nearby alternative/transfer schools, though below the state’s 92.0%. Dropout was 1.7%, relatively low locally but above the state’s 1.1%.

Chronic absenteeism is a major concern: it rose from 50.0% in 2023–2024 to 70.7% in 2024–2025, more than four times Wisconsin’s 17.3% and above the Milwaukee School District average of 46.2%. The clearest bright spot is English Language Learner students, where Escuela Verde ranks 22 of 115 (81st percentile, 4 stars), far above its overall standing. Special Education students rank at the 31st percentile (2 stars), while male, female, and low-SES subgroups are in the bottom few percentiles with 0 stars. Resources show a mixed picture: per-student spending was $12,526 in 2020–2021, lower than most nearby reported figures, though years differ, and the 12.0 student/teacher ratio is relatively favorable. Recent trends are mixed: social studies improved from 9.38% to 22.22% to 23.53%, and science rose from 8% to 14.29%, but ELA declined from 12% to 9.68%, and math remains at 0%.
