Summary

Rocketship Southside Community Prep is a PK–5 elementary school at 3003 W Cleveland Ave on Milwaukee's south side, serving 418 students as part of Rocketship Education Wisconsin Inc. Statewide, it ranks 850th of 1,039 schools in 2025–2026 (18th percentile, 1 star), while its district ranks 416th of 432 Wisconsin districts — but the school's rank has climbed steadily from 939th of 1,067 (12th percentile) in 2021–2022, making recent years the strongest in its available history.

Among nearby Milwaukee School District schools, Rocketship is the top-ranked overall: ALBA - Academia de Lenguaje y Bellas Artes follows at 14th percentile, then Greenfield Bilingual and Curtin Elementary (9th), Manitoba Elementary (8th), Lincoln Avenue Elementary (7th), Rogers Street Academy and U S Grant School (6th), Zablocki Elementary (5th), and Mitchell Elementary (4th). Math is the clearest differentiator: grade 3 (37.74%), grade 4 (44.78%), and grade 5 (50.00%) math proficiency all beat the nearby range, with grade 5 math essentially at the state rate of 51.81%. Reading is more mixed — grades 4 and 5 ELA exceed nearby schools, but grade 3 ELA (13.21%) trails Manitoba, ALBA, Lincoln, and Grant.

Chronic absenteeism fell to 30.2% in 2024–2025 from 57.9% in 2020–2021 — better than several nearby schools but still above the state's 17.3%. English Language Learners (69th percentile) and Hispanic students (42nd) rank well above the school's overall percentile, while special education students and students from low-income backgrounds remain in the lower quartile. Science and social studies results trail state averages, and the student-teacher ratio (17.3) compares well with Grant, Manitoba, and Curtin.
