Summary

Rogers Street Academy is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Milwaukee School District, with 570 students. However, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Rogers Street Academy's test scores, attendance, and dropout rates indicate significant challenges.

Rogers Street Academy struggles across various metrics, including test scores, where only 15.22% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 21.92% for the Milwaukee School District and 52.14% for the state. The school also has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 35.1% to 50.4%, and dropout rates ranging from 1.3% to 5.6%, all higher than district and state averages.

While the school's high-poverty student population and limited resources likely contribute to these issues, the data suggests that a more comprehensive and innovative approach may be needed. Nearby public charter schools, such as Seeds of Health Elementary Program and Rocketship Southside Community Prep, show some variation in their performance, indicating that alternative educational models may be worth exploring to better serve the needs of the community.
