Summary

Project STAY-Supporting Teachers and Youth is a small high school in Milwaukee, WI, serving grades 9–12 with 114 students as part of the Milwaukee School District. It is a high-poverty school: 86.84% of students were economically disadvantaged or eligible for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025. It spends $28,292 per student and had a 12:1 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025. In 2025–2026 it ranked 495th of 533 Wisconsin high schools (7th percentile, 0 stars).

Academically, results are uneven. Math is a relative bright spot: 16.67% proficient, above the district (15.75%) and above nearby South Division High (1.99%), Bradley Technology High (2.76%), Milwaukee High School of the Arts (6.42%), Alliance School of Milwaukee (0%), Shalom High (0%), and Tenor High (13.19%); only Pathways High was higher at 21.05%. But English Language Arts and Science were both 0% in 2025–2026, tying for the lowest among nearby schools, while Social Studies was 20%, below the district and state but mid-pack locally. Because enrollment is only 114, these percentages can swing sharply based on a small number of test-takers.

The biggest positive trend is graduation and dropout improvement: the graduation rate rose from 8.0% in 2020–2021 to 57.5% in 2024–2025, and the dropout rate fell from 40.7% in 2021–2022 to 6.6% in 2024–2025. Still, that is 14.0 points below the district and 34.5 points below the state for graduation. Chronic absenteeism is the dominant red flag: 91.1% in 2024–2025, more than double the district rate (46.2%) and more than five times the state rate (17.3%), and worse than almost every nearby school except Groppi High (98.5%). For parents, this school shows real momentum in keeping students on track to graduate, but severe absenteeism and very low ELA/science proficiency remain central challenges in a very low-performing local group.
