Vieau Elementary

Public Grades PK, KG-8

958^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 1,044 Wisconsin Elementary Schools

Better than 8% of Wisconsin elementary schools

Summary

Vieau Elementary is a public elementary school in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 684 students. 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.

Vieau Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Wisconsin elementary schools, with a performance on the Forward Exam, the state's standardized test, that is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the percentage of Vieau students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 10-28.57%, compared to the state average of 51.26-53.97%. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students with special needs.

Vieau Elementary also faces challenges with student engagement and attendance, with high rates of chronic absenteeism and dropout compared to the state and district averages. The school's high-poverty student population, with 82.11% to 90.94% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, may be contributing to these issues. Interestingly, the nearby Bruce Guadalupe charter school, which serves a similarly high-poverty student population, significantly outperforms Vieau and other nearby Milwaukee School District schools on academic measures, suggesting there may be opportunities for Vieau to learn from the practices and strategies employed by high-performing schools serving similar students.
