Summary

Green Tree Preparatory Academy is a public charter high school serving 496 students in grades 6-12 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, which is part of the Milwaukee School District, ranked 415 out of 426 districts in the state with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The data paints a concerning picture of Green Tree Preparatory Academy as a chronically underperforming school. It ranks 431 out of 431 Wisconsin high schools and has a 0-star rating, placing it at the very bottom of the state's high school rankings. The school's performance is extremely low across a wide range of metrics, including academics, graduation, attendance, and poverty indicators. Its proficiency rates on state assessments are abysmal, with most grades and subjects scoring under 10% proficient, far below the state and district averages. Green Tree Preparatory Academy has also struggled with persistently low graduation rates and high dropout rates in recent years.

When compared to other nearby schools, both within the Milwaukee School District and in neighboring districts like Nicolet Union High School and Brown Deer School District, Green Tree Preparatory Academy stands out as an outlier, performing significantly worse across nearly all metrics. This suggests that the challenges facing the school are not simply a reflection of the broader district or regional context, but rather deep-seated issues that the school has been unable to effectively address.
