Summary

Ninety-Fifth Street Elementary is a public elementary school in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, serving 424 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Milwaukee School District, which is ranked 415 out of 426 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ninety-Fifth Street Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Wisconsin elementary schools, with low academic performance across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 20.63% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 52.14% statewide. The school also has high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 35.6% to 50.4% over the past few years, and a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 64.76% to 79.48%. Despite spending between $11,789 and $12,985 per student, which is higher than the state average, the school's performance remains significantly below the Milwaukee School District and Wisconsin state averages.

In contrast, the nearby schools in the Wauwatosa School District, such as McKinley Elementary, Eisenhower Elementary, and Madison Elementary, consistently outperform Ninety-Fifth Street Elementary and the Milwaukee School District as a whole, with higher academic achievement, lower chronic absenteeism, and lower free/reduced lunch rates. The significant differences in performance between these schools suggest that factors beyond just the school district, such as community resources, parental involvement, and school-level practices, may be playing a role in the disparities.
