of 1,039 Wisconsin Elementary Schools

Better than 16% of Wisconsin elementary schools

Summary

Milwaukee College Preparatory School -- Lloyd Street is a PK–8 school at 1228 W Lloyd St in Milwaukee, WI, serving 492 students in a high-poverty urban neighborhood. It reports under Milwaukee School District.

Overall, the school ranks 868th of 1,039 Wisconsin schools (16th percentile, 1 star), which is low statewide but above nearby Brown Street Academy, Siefert Elementary, Carver Academy, Hopkins Lloyd Community School, Starms Discovery, Jackson Elementary, and Elm Creative Arts Elementary, most of which sit in the 0–3rd percentile. Chronic absenteeism is 25.6%, much better than the district's 46.2% and most nearby schools, though higher than the state's 17.3% and higher than Highland Community School (15.0%) and its same-network peer Milwaukee College Preparatory School: Lola Rowe North Campus (17.8%). About 90.65% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch; per-student spending is $20,022; student-teacher ratio is 25.8.

In English language arts and math, the school generally beats the district in grades 4–8 but trails the state. Math is uneven: grades 3 and 4 are strong (45.65% and 48.0%), with grade 4 above Milwaukee College Preparatory School: Lola Rowe North Campus and Highland Community School, while grades 5 and 8 are weak (20.45% and 20.41%). Science is a clear weakness: 18.0% in grade 4 and 20.41% in grade 8, below the district and far below the state. Social studies is above the district but below the state. The same-network peer, Milwaukee College Preparatory School: Lola Rowe North Campus, is only 0.19 miles away with similar enrollment, poverty, spending, and staffing, yet has higher overall rank, much lower absenteeism, and generally higher test scores—for example, grade 6 ELA 53.49% vs. 36.17%, and grade 8 math 43.75% vs. 20.41%. A notable bright spot is the school's effectiveness ranking for its African American student subgroup: 83rd percentile with 4 stars, far above the overall school rank. Some older data, such as 2022–2024 student-teacher ratios and 2021–2022 spending, appear anomalous and should be treated with caution.
