Summary

Kagel Elementary is a public PK–8 school at 1210 W Mineral St in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, serving 292 students as part of the Milwaukee School District — the smallest enrollment among its nearby peers.

Kagel ranks at the very bottom of Wisconsin schools. In 2025–2026 it placed 1032nd out of 1039 schools statewide (1st percentile, 0 stars). Nearby schools in the same district rank between 924th and 996th (4th–11th percentile), and Bruce Guadalupe, a charter school only 0.27 miles away, ranks 757th (27th percentile, 1 star). Forward Exam proficiency is extremely low: in 2025–2026, English language arts in grades 3–8 ranged from 4.17% to 16%, math from 0% to 20%, social studies 8.7% in 4th grade and 20% in 8th grade, and science 0% in 4th grade and 4% in 8th grade. These figures are far below district averages (roughly 20–30%) and state averages (roughly 50–65%). Nearby schools such as Vieau Elementary and Longfellow Elementary generally outperform Kagel, and Bruce Guadalupe's proficiency is near state averages.

Chronic absenteeism was 34.6% in 2024–2025, improved from 43.4% in 2021–2022 and better than the district average of 46.2%, but still roughly double the state rate of 17.3%. Per-student spending is $21,915, higher than most nearby schools, including Vieau at $17,483, yet results remain lower; the student–teacher ratio rose from 13.0 to 16.5. Subgroup results are concerning: students from low-income families ranked 870th of 870, English learners 235th of 245, and special education students 755th of 791. Low performance is long-standing — the statewide percentile has ranged from 1st to 10th over the past decade, with 0 stars in most years. The dropout rate is 0.0%.
