Summary:

The 53213 zip code area is home to 10 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. The majority of these schools are part of the Wauwatosa School District, while two are part of the Milwaukee School District.

Among the standout schools in the area, East High consistently ranks among the top 30-40 high schools in Wisconsin, with a 5-star rating, high proficiency rates, a 91% 4-year graduation rate, and a low 1.3% dropout rate. The Wauwatosa STEM elementary charter school is particularly impressive, ranking among the top 3-9 elementary schools in the state with exceptional proficiency rates. Additionally, Roosevelt Elementary and Lincoln Elementary, both part of the Wauwatosa School District, stand out with high proficiency rates and strong rankings.

While the Wauwatosa School District schools generally perform well, the two schools in the Milwaukee School District, MacDowell Montessori School K3-12 and Hawley Environmental School, have lower performance metrics. This highlights the disparity in educational outcomes between the two districts. Additionally, the high chronic absenteeism rate across all schools in the area is a concern that may require further investigation and intervention.
