Summary

Milwaukee Spanish Immersion is a PK–5 elementary school in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, serving 605 students — the largest enrollment among the nearby elementary schools in this comparison — as part of the Milwaukee School District (MPS).

In the 2025–26 rankings, the school places 849th of 1,039 statewide (18th percentile, 1 star), while its district ranks 418th of 432 in Wisconsin. That reflects a long slide: in 2015–16 the school was in the 55th percentile with 3 stars, and since 2020–21 it has hovered in the teens and low 20s. Proficiency trails state averages in every subject and grade reported, though 3rd-grade English language arts is close (50.0% versus 52.08% statewide). Third-grade math (42.86%) and 4th-grade social studies (56.72%) beat district averages, while 4th-grade math (14.93%) falls below the district's 19.38% and is the clearest academic challenge. Attendance is a relative strength: 20.6% of students were chronically absent in 2024–25, far below the district's 46.2%, though still above the state's 17.3%.

The overall rank also masks differences among student groups — African American students rank in the 67th percentile and Hispanic students in the 45th, while low-income students (16th percentile) and male students (14th percentile) sit near the bottom; special education students have climbed from the 4th percentile to the 34th. About 82.6% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, spending is $18,255 per student, and the student-teacher ratio is 17.8 — similar to other MPS campuses but larger than nearby suburban schools such as Glenwood Elementary (11.1) and Pershing Elementary (13.9). Among nearby schools, its rank is mid-pack: above Curtin Elementary (9), Whitman Elementary (11), Manitoba Elementary (8) and Fairview Elementary (17), below Honey Creek Elementary (24), and close to Rocketship Southside Community Prep (18).

Not to trilled about Milwaukee Spanish immersion new campus on 88th st. there is so much improvement that is needed at current campus on 55th st. Teacher are working in extremely hot classroom god bless them and our poor children that have to suffer through.
