Summary

Stuart Elementary is a public elementary school located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, serving grades PK-5 with 295 students. It is part of the Milwaukee School District, which is ranked 415 out of 426 districts in Wisconsin and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Stuart Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Wisconsin elementary schools over the past decade, with a ranking between 924-1044 out of around 1,050 schools. It has maintained a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past few years, indicating it is among the lowest-performing schools in the state. The school's test scores are significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects, particularly in mathematics, where only 7.14% of 5th graders were proficient or better in 2024-2025, compared to 52.58% statewide and 17.72% in the district. Additionally, Stuart Elementary has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.7% to 50.4% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages.

The challenges faced by Stuart Elementary are not unique, as the nearby schools in the Milwaukee School District, such as Bryant Elementary, Goodrich Elementary, and Barton Elementary, also perform poorly and have similar demographic and resource challenges. Addressing these systemic issues within the district will require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach that goes beyond simply increasing funding and addresses the underlying factors contributing to the poor performance of these schools.
