Summary

Allen-Field Elementary is a public elementary school in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, serving 474 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Milwaukee School District, which is ranked 415 out of 426 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Allen-Field Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Wisconsin elementary schools, with very low academic performance across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 6.35% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 21.92% for the district and 52.14% for the state. The school also has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 42.7% to 50.4% in recent years, which are significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, over 90% of the students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population.

The nearby schools, such as Kagel Elementary, Forest Home Elementary, Vieau Elementary, and La Causa Charter School, also perform poorly on academic measures, with most ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Wisconsin elementary schools. These nearby schools share similar demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, with high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch and high chronic absenteeism rates. However, some of the nearby charter schools, such as Bruce Guadalupe, show slightly better academic performance compared to the traditional public schools in the area.
