Summary

Woodlands School - State Street Campus is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with 198 students.

The school's academic performance is particularly concerning, with only 12.5% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 52.14% statewide and 33.33% for the Woodlands School Inc. district. Math proficiency is even lower, with only 0-20% of students scoring proficient or better across grades 3-8. Additionally, the school has high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 17.7% to 36.6%, and relatively high dropout rates between 1.3% and 5.8%.

Interestingly, nearby Milwaukee Academy of Chinese Language, Highland Community School, and Story Elementary, all part of the Milwaukee School District, perform significantly better than Woodlands School - State Street Campus, despite still being below state averages.
