Summary:
The zip code 53204 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin is home to 10 elementary schools, serving grades PK-8. These schools are a mix of public and public charter institutions, catering to a high-need student population with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 62.55% to 95.72%.
Among the standout schools in this area, Bruce Guadalupe, a public charter school, demonstrates the strongest overall performance, with higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the Milwaukee School District and state averages. Rogers Street Academy, a public school, and La Causa Charter School also show relatively strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts.
However, the data reveals significant performance gaps between these schools and the state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, with many schools having less than 20% of students proficient in these subjects. Additionally, all schools in the area struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.7% to 17.7%, significantly higher than the state average. The data suggests the importance of adequate funding, as the schools with higher per-student spending tend to have stronger academic performance, and the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes in this high-need community.
