Summary

Rocketship Transformation Prep is a PK–5 charter elementary school at 5501 N 68th St in Milwaukee, WI, serving 313 students on the city's northwest side as part of Rocketship Education Wisconsin Inc. Statewide, it ranked 942 of 1,039 schools in 2025-2026 — the 9th percentile, with 0 stars — and its recent history shows persistent bottom-decile performance, although 2024-2025 (11th percentile) and 2025-2026 were its strongest recent years.

Locally, Rocketship Transformation Prep's 9th percentile ranks second only to Hampton Elementary's 10th percentile, and most nearby schools fall between the 1st and 8th percentiles, including Milwaukee Scholars Charter School, Bryant Elementary, and Engleburg Elementary at 7. Math is a genuine relative strength: in 2025-2026, proficiency was 33.33% in grade 3, 22.5% in grade 4, and 37.04% in grade 5, compared with ELA results of 5.13%, 10%, and 22.22%. Grade 5 math was the highest among nearby schools. Grade 3 ELA dropped sharply from 26.47% the year before. Grade 4 science was 4.88%, among the lowest nearby, while grade 4 social studies (21.95%) was mid-range locally.

Chronic absenteeism improved from 62.3% in 2022-2023 to 41.3% in 2024-2025 — lower than most nearby schools but still above the 34.8% rate in Milwaukee School District and far above the state's 17.3%. Effectiveness with special education students rose from the 1st percentile in 2022-2023 to the 49th in 2024-2025 and 30th in 2025-2026. Two operational notes stand out: the student-teacher ratio climbed to 32.1, roughly double nearby schools (11.5 to 20.5), and reported free/reduced lunch is 23.64% versus 83% or higher at nearly every neighbor, suggesting a different population or reporting method. Older spending figures ($11,835 per student in 2020-2021) are below nearby current levels.
