Summary

Mitchell School is an elementary school located in Racine, Wisconsin, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 1,093 students. It is part of the Racine Unified School District, which is ranked 408 out of 426 districts in Wisconsin and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, Mitchell School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Wisconsin elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mitchell School's academic performance is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 5.17% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 25.76% in the Racine Unified School District and 52.14% statewide. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 15% of Wisconsin elementary schools for African American, Hispanic, and White students, as well as for students with low socioeconomic status. Additionally, Mitchell School has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.7% to 51.0% over the past few years, and relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 0.8% to 2.8%.

When comparing Mitchell School to the nearby schools in the Racine Unified School District, it is clear that Mitchell is performing significantly worse across a range of metrics. For example, schools like RUSD Montessori and Jefferson Lighthouse Elementary have much higher academic proficiency rates, lower chronic absenteeism, and better student subgroup performance. Addressing the challenges faced by Mitchell School will require a comprehensive, district-wide approach to improve the quality of education for all students in the Racine Unified School District.
