Summary

Mitchell Elementary is a PK–6 school in Cudahy, Wisconsin—a small city just south of Milwaukee—serving 403 students, the largest elementary enrollment in the Cudahy School District. Mitchell performs better than its district: the district ranks 388th of 432 Wisconsin districts (10th percentile, 1 star), while Mitchell ranked 653rd of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools (37th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–2026. That's a real improvement from 2022–2023, when it sat at the 21st percentile, though it hasn't returned to its 2017–2018 peak of 50th percentile and 3 stars.

Math is the school's clearest strength in the early grades. Third grade math proficiency is 69.77%, above the district's 60.0% and the state's 54.75%—the highest 3rd grade math result among Cudahy elementaries. Mitchell also leads Cudahy elementaries in math overall, while Lincoln Elementary posts stronger English language arts results. But scores drop in upper grades: 4th grade math is 47.27%, 5th grade 30.23%, and 6th grade 42.86%, all above district but below state. Fifth grade math sits 21.6 points below the state average, and 5th and 6th grade ELA also lag. Fourth grade science and social studies swung from above state in 2024–2025 to below it in 2025–2026.

Chronic absenteeism is 22.1%, better than the district's 30.7% but worse than the state's 17.3%; it's lower than Lincoln Elementary and Kosciuszko Elementary but higher than Jones Elementary, Whittier Elementary, E W Luther Elementary, and Blakewood Elementary. About 66.25% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, among the highest nearby, yet per-student spending ($15,127) is lower than its district peers and its student-teacher ratio (13.8) is the highest in Cudahy. School effectiveness ratings are especially strong for English Language Learner students (87th percentile) and Hispanic students (77th percentile), and above average for low-income students; special education effectiveness has declined.
