Summary

Bruce Guadalupe is a PK–8 elementary and middle school at 1028 S 9th St in Milwaukee's near south side, part of the United Community Center Inc district, enrolling 1,364 students — far more than any nearby school, which range from about 292 to 773 students.

Academically, Bruce Guadalupe is the clear leader among its neighbors. It ranks 757th of 1,039 Wisconsin schools (27th percentile, 1 star), while every nearby Milwaukee School District school — including La Causa Charter School, Forest Home Elementary, Hayes Bilingual School, and Kagel Elementary — sits far lower, between the 1st and 11th percentile. On the 2025–2026 Forward Exam, about 47.9% of students were proficient in ELA and 47.5% in math, compared with roughly 14.9% and 14.6% at nearby schools, though still about 6 percentage points below the state averages of approximately 54.0% and 53.7%. Grades 7 and 8 are the strongest: 8th grade math reached 59.81% against a nearby range of 5.97% to 30.65%, and 8th grade social studies reached 65.42% against 15.87% to 48%. Grade 4 is the weak spot, with math at 31.79% versus a state average of 52.87%.

Chronic absenteeism is a standout success at 15.9% in 2024–2025 — below the state's 17.3% and roughly half or less of every nearby school, which ranged from 31.8% to 54.3%. The school also serves English Language Learner students well, ranking in the 53rd–68th percentile statewide, while special education is a persistent weakness at the 2nd–16th percentile. Its dropout rate fell to 0.4% after higher rates in prior years, and its free/reduced lunch rate (72.95%) and student-teacher ratio (13.7) are more favorable than at most nearby schools.
