Summary:
The 53215 zip code area of Milwaukee, Wisconsin is home to 8 high schools, including a mix of public and public charter institutions serving grades 9-12. These schools demonstrate a range of academic performance, with some standouts like Carmen High School of Science and Technology South Campus and Veritas High outperforming the district and state averages on key metrics, while others like Pulaski High and Grandview High lag behind.
Overall, the schools in this area demonstrate high 4-year graduation rates, with all 8 schools exceeding the state average. However, chronic absenteeism is a concern, with rates ranging from 17.7% to 22.1% across the schools. Performance on state assessments also varies widely, with Carmen High and Veritas High outperforming the Milwaukee School District and the state, while other schools struggle to meet proficiency standards. Additionally, the majority of students in this area come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with most schools having over 74% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
The data suggests that the charter school model may be more effective in this context, as the two charter schools, Carmen High and Veritas High, demonstrate stronger academic performance. However, further analysis would be needed to draw definitive conclusions. Additionally, the school with the lowest student-teacher ratio, Lad Lake Synergy School, also has the highest per-student spending, suggesting that smaller class sizes and more individualized attention may be beneficial for student outcomes in this area.
