Summary

Victory Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Milwaukee School District, with 421 students located in the southern part of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Despite its proximity to several higher-performing schools, Victory Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Wisconsin elementary schools over the past decade, with a 0-1 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Victory Elementary significantly underperforms compared to the Milwaukee School District and the state of Wisconsin in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 12.12% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 21.92% for the district and 52.14% statewide. The school also has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.7% to 50.4% in recent years, and high dropout rates, ranging from 1.3% to 5.6% in recent years, which are well above the district and state averages.

Despite its poor performance, Victory Elementary is located in close proximity to several higher-performing schools, such as Lowell International Elementary, Cooper Elementary, and Garland Elementary, all within a 1-2 mile radius. This highlights the stark contrast in educational opportunities available to students in the same general area. Addressing the challenges faced by Victory Elementary will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve the educational experiences and outcomes for its students.
