These schools are primarily part of the Wauwatosa School District, with the exception of the alternative school, which is part of the Milwaukee School District.
The standout schools in this area are Lincoln Elementary, which consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Wisconsin, and Wauwatosa STEM, a public charter elementary school that also performs exceptionally well. At the high school level, East High stands out with a 94.1% four-year graduation rate and test scores well above state and district averages.
The data reveals a clear socioeconomic divide, with the Wauwatosa schools serving more affluent populations and the Milwaukee school, MacDowell Montessori, serving a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. This disparity is reflected in the performance gaps, with the Wauwatosa schools consistently outperforming the Milwaukee school in areas such as test scores, chronic absenteeism, and graduation rates. However, the exceptional performance of Wauwatosa STEM suggests that the Wauwatosa School District is able to provide high-quality education to students across socioeconomic lines.
