Summary

U S Grant School is a large elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Milwaukee School District, with 582 students, the majority of whom come from low-income families.

Despite its size, U S Grant School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Wisconsin elementary schools over the past decade, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school significantly underperforms compared to the district and state on standardized test scores, with only 22.06% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, and just 2.94% of 5th graders and 10.17% of 6th graders scoring proficient or better in mathematics. U S Grant School also struggles with high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 37.1% to 50.4% in recent years, and high dropout rates, ranging from 1.3% to 9.1%.

While U S Grant School faces significant challenges, there are some nearby schools within the Milwaukee School District, such as Greenfield Bilingual and Rogers Street Academy, that demonstrate significantly better academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. This suggests that there may be opportunities to learn from the practices and strategies of these higher-performing schools and implement targeted strategies to address U S Grant School's most pressing issues.
