Summary:

The 53216 zip code area of Milwaukee, Wisconsin is home to two high schools: Marshall High and Dr. Howard Fuller Collegiate Academy. Both schools have consistently ranked in the bottom tier of Wisconsin high schools, with Marshall High ranking 431 out of 431 and Dr. Howard Fuller Collegiate Academy ranking 454 out of 466 in recent years. The schools' test scores are significantly lower than the state averages, and both have high chronic absenteeism rates of around 17.7%.

Despite similar spending per student, the schools' academic outcomes differ significantly. Marshall High is part of the Milwaukee School District, which is ranked 415 out of 426 districts in Wisconsin and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Dr. Howard Fuller Collegiate Academy is a public charter school not affiliated with a specific district. Both schools have high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, indicating that the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

The data suggests that students in the 53216 zip code area face significant educational challenges. Addressing the root causes of the low performance, such as poverty, chronic absenteeism, and resource allocation, will be crucial in improving outcomes for these schools and the community they serve.
