Summary:
The 53214 zip code in Wisconsin is home to a single middle school, West Milwaukee Intermediate, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on the Forward Exam, consistently lags behind both district and state averages across all subject areas and grade levels.
With a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (65.72%), West Milwaukee Intermediate serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population. The school's relatively high spending per student ($14,867) suggests that resources are being allocated to support the students, but the academic outcomes do not yet reflect the investment. Addressing factors such as chronic absenteeism (17.7%) and evaluating the effectiveness of the school's instructional practices could be key priorities for improving student achievement.
While there is only one middle school in the 53214 zip code, expanding the analysis to include other schools in the West Allis-West Milwaukee School District or surrounding areas could provide a more comprehensive understanding of the school's standing and help identify strategies for supporting student success.
