In contrast, Franklin Elementary has some of the highest test scores in the data set, with up to 16.7% of students proficient in English Language Arts and 8.3% proficient in Math, though it still ranks in the bottom 1% of Wisconsin elementary schools. Hopkins Lloyd Community School stands out with the highest social studies proficiency rates, with 23.1% of 4th graders proficient.
Across the schools, there are significant challenges, including very high rates of poverty, as indicated by free/reduced lunch ranging from 73.9% to 97.4%, and chronic absenteeism rates from 17.7% to 24.7%. Test scores are generally low, with most schools having less than 10% of students proficient in core subjects. Addressing these systemic issues through targeted interventions and support for these high-need students will be crucial for driving meaningful improvements for the Milwaukee School District.
