Summary

Brass Community School is a PK–5 elementary school at 6400 15th Ave in Kenosha, Wisconsin, serving 462 students as part of the Kenosha School District. It has one of the highest poverty rates in its area, with 87.9% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch in 2024–2025, and it sits in the bottom 5% of Wisconsin elementary schools.

In 2025–2026, Brass ranked 984th of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools — the 5th percentile — with a 0-star rating, and it has not earned a star since 2016–2017. Test scores are far below district and state levels across every subject and grade. In 7 of 8 tested subject-and-grade comparisons, only Grant Elementary scores lower. The school’s strongest outlier is chronic absenteeism: 38.5% in 2024–2025, more than double the state rate and higher than every nearby school, including Strange Elementary and Frank Elementary.

Resources do not appear to be the main differentiator. Brass spends $14,685 per student with a 12.8:1 student-to-teacher ratio — mid-pack or better than some higher-performing peers, such as Roosevelt Elementary, which has larger classes, lower spending, and a much higher 63rd-percentile ranking. Poverty explains part of the challenge, but not all of it: Frank Elementary has a similar 85.3% low-income rate yet beats Brass in every tested subject and grade. The closest neighbor, Lakeview K-8 Academy just 0.27 miles away, ranks at the 57th percentile with 3 stars and 18.5% chronic absenteeism. Brass remains stably among Wisconsin’s lowest-performing elementary schools and underperforms even its below-average district.
