Summary

Hopkins Lloyd Community School is a small PK–5 elementary school in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, serving 143 students as part of the Milwaukee School District, in a neighborhood where nearly all families are low-income — 97.9% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025.

Academically, Hopkins Lloyd ranks near the bottom of Wisconsin schools. In 2025–2026 it placed 1031 out of 1039 schools statewide, at the 1st percentile with 0 stars, and has never risen above the 4th percentile in the years reviewed. Reported proficiency is very low: in 2025–2026, ELA was 6.67% in 3rd grade, 5.26% in 4th, and 12.5% in 5th; math was 6.67% in 3rd grade, 0% in 4th, and 6.25% in 5th; 4th grade social studies was 5.26% and 4th grade science was 0%. Those zeros are exact 0% proficiency, not suppressed data. Averaged across grades 3–5, the school sits roughly 45 points below the state in ELA and about 49 points below in math. Several nearby traditional Milwaukee public schools — LaFollette Elementary, Auer Avenue Elementary, Keefe Avenue Elementary, Clarke Street Elementary, Brown Street Academy, King Junior Elementary, and Jackson Elementary — post similar low proficiency, while Milwaukee College Preparatory School: Lola Rowe North Campus and Milwaukee College Preparatory School -- Lloyd Street reach much higher rates.

Chronic absenteeism is Hopkins Lloyd's defining challenge: 67.6% of students were chronically absent in 2024–2025, versus 46.2% in the district and 17.3% statewide. That is an improvement from 87.7% in 2021–2022, but it remains roughly four times the state rate and similar to Clarke Street Elementary (68.1%) and King Junior Elementary (68.2%), and far above the nearby Milwaukee College Preparatory campuses (17.8% and 25.6%). The school spends $25,081 per student with a student-teacher ratio of 15.9 — more money and smaller classes than those two nearby campuses, yet far lower proficiency. Special education students have ranked at or near the bottom (0th–2nd percentile) in the available years, and because grade-level groups are small, yearly percentages can swing widely.
