Summary:
The 53210 zip code area of Milwaukee, Wisconsin is home to 8 schools, including 7 elementary schools and 1 high school, all part of the Milwaukee School District. The schools serve predominantly African American student populations, with high rates of poverty and chronic absenteeism, leading to significant disparities in academic performance.
Milwaukee French Immersion stands out as a relative bright spot, with the highest percentage of white students, the lowest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients, and the best test scores in the area. In contrast, WHS Information Technology has the lowest graduation rate and highest dropout rate, as well as extremely low test scores. Other schools like Sherman Elementary and Clarke Street Elementary struggle with proficiency rates well below 50% in core subjects.
The presence of public charter schools like Milwaukee College Preparatory School -- 36th Street Campus and Milwaukee Math and Science Academy suggests that families are seeking alternatives to the traditional public school system. The data highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the systemic challenges facing these high-poverty schools and improve educational outcomes for students in the 53210 zip code area.
