Summary

Andrew S Douglas Middle is a small public middle school serving grades 6–8 at 3620 N 18th St in Milwaukee's 53206 neighborhood, with 106 students. It is part of the Milwaukee School District, which ranks 418th of 432 districts in Wisconsin, and the school itself has placed in the bottom 1–2% of the state for six consecutive years — 641st of 643 in 2025–2026.

The clearest concern is attendance: 85.2% of students were chronically absent in 2024–2025, nearly double the district rate (46.2%) and about five times the state rate (17.3%). That is higher than nearby same-district peers such as Morse Mid (54.9%), Lincoln Middle (64.5%), King International Baccalaureate Middle (70.5%), and Roosevelt Middle (63.0%), and far above suburban schools like Whitefish Bay Middle (3.2%) and Shorewood Intermediate (5.0%). The reported dropout rate, 6.2%, is also the highest among comparison schools. Proficiency is extremely low: ELA ranged from 2.78–8.7% and math 0–5.13%, with 0% in 6th-grade math, 8th-grade math, 8th-grade social studies, and 8th-grade science. About 88.68% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch.

Notably, the school spends $28,122 per student — more than most nearby schools and up sharply from $15,697 in 2020–2021 — with a moderate student-teacher ratio of 13.2, yet outcomes remain at the bottom of the state. Subgroup effectiveness rankings are also near the bottom statewide (male students 574th of 575, female students 565th of 572, special education students 434th of 439). A modest ELA gain since 2022–2023 offers a hopeful signal, but math, science, and social studies remain at crisis levels. High-poverty schools such as West Milwaukee Intermediate and United Community Center Acosta Middle School achieve higher proficiency and much lower absenteeism, suggesting attendance supports and targeted instruction are the most urgent priorities here.
