Summary

Kagel Elementary is a public elementary school in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 267 students. The school faces significant challenges, consistently ranking among the lowest-performing elementary schools in the state.

Kagel Elementary's academic performance is significantly below the Milwaukee School District and Wisconsin state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates often less than half the district and state averages. The school has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 89.51% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Kagel Elementary also struggles with high chronic absenteeism and dropout rates, further contributing to its underperformance.

While nearby schools like Vieau Elementary, Allen-Field Elementary, and Longfellow Elementary also perform poorly compared to the state average, they generally outperform Kagel Elementary. This suggests that factors beyond just student demographics may be contributing to Kagel Elementary's underperformance. Exploring alternative educational models, such as the nearby Bruce Guadalupe Charter School, which outperforms the district, may be crucial in addressing the persistent challenges faced by Kagel Elementary and other low-performing schools in the area.
