Summary

Engleburg Elementary is a public elementary school in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, serving 268 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.

Engleburg Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Wisconsin elementary schools, with a 0-star rating for most of the past several years. The school significantly underperforms the district and state averages in academic assessments, with low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Engleburg also has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 47.5% to 53.8% in recent years, which is much higher than the district and state averages. While the school's African American students perform relatively better than their peers, the performance of other subgroups, such as special education and low-income students, is among the lowest in the state.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Milwaukee School District, such as Kilbourn Elementary, Bruce Elementary, and Grantosa Drive Elementary, also struggle academically and have similar demographic profiles to Engleburg Elementary. This suggests that the challenges faced by Engleburg are not unique and may be systemic issues within the district. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratio, these factors do not appear to translate into improved academic outcomes, indicating that the root causes of the school's poor performance may be more complex.
