Summary:
The 53212 zip code of Milwaukee, Wisconsin is home to 9 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 alternative school. These schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 54.5% to 96.89%.
Among the standout schools in the area is Golda Meir School, an alternative school with the highest graduation rate (91%) and lowest dropout rate (1.3%) in the data set. Golda Meir also significantly outperforms the Milwaukee School District and Wisconsin state averages on standardized tests across multiple subjects and grade levels. Other high-performing schools include Holmes Elementary, which has the highest proficiency rates in mathematics and social studies, and Fratney Elementary, which has the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts.
However, the data also reveals areas of concern, such as the high rates of chronic absenteeism (17.7%) across all schools, which may be impacting student learning and achievement. Additionally, there is a wide range in per-student spending, from $12,984 at Golda Meir School to $55,118 at Southeastern, raising questions about the equitable distribution of resources and its potential impact on student outcomes.
