Better than 7% of Wisconsin elementary schools

Summary

Allen-Field Elementary is a PK–5 school at 730 W Lapham Blvd in Milwaukee, WI, serving 451 students in the Milwaukee School District. In 2025–2026 it ranked 966th of 1,039 Wisconsin schools — the 7th percentile, with 0 stars — after sitting in the bottom decile for a decade, though its rank has inched up from 991st and 995th in the two prior years. The district itself ranks 418th of 432 statewide (3rd percentile, 0 stars).

Allen-Field serves a high-poverty population: 89.36% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch in 2024–2025. It is comparatively well-resourced, spending $24,551 per pupil (up from $14,984 in 2019–2020) with an 11.7-to-1 student-teacher ratio (down from 13.0). Chronic absenteeism was 39.7%, better than the district's 46.2% but more than double the state's 17.3%, and much improved from 57.1% in 2021–2022. On the 2025–2026 Forward Exam, proficiency was mostly below both district and state averages, with two exceptions: 4th-grade social studies at 36.36% (district 34.69%) and 3rd-grade math at 22.86% (district 22.62%). Fifth-grade ELA was 9.8%, and 4th-grade ELA 19.7%.

Compared with nearby schools, Allen-Field spends more and has smaller classes than most — only Forest Home Elementary spends more ($26,499) with a slightly lower ratio (11.2-to-1), while Kagel Elementary (16.5-to-1), Vieau Elementary (16.2-to-1) and Longfellow Elementary (19.1-to-1) have larger classes. Allen-Field generally outperforms Kagel and Mitchell Elementary in overlapping grades, but trails Riley Dual Language Montessori School in most ELA grades and Bruce Guadalupe across the board — for example, 4th-grade ELA 42.38% versus 19.7%. Subgroup effectiveness varies widely: English Language Learners improved to the 41st percentile, while low-income students (4th percentile) and special education students (8th percentile) remain very low.
