Summary:
ZIP code 53220 is home to six elementary schools serving roughly 2,284 students, most of them in grades PK–5, with Whitman Elementary the sole PK–8 school. Three schools — Academy of Accelerated Learning, Honey Creek Elementary, and Whitman Elementary — are part of Milwaukee School District, while Maple Grove Elementary, Edgewood Elementary, and Glenwood Elementary belong to Greenfield School District. The two districts look very different: Milwaukee schools average about $20,137 in per-student spending and 25.2% chronic absenteeism, while Greenfield schools spend about $15,226 per student but hold absenteeism near 7%.
Edgewood Elementary is the clear academic standout, with a 2025–2026 test average of 60.7% — the only school here above comparable state averages, by roughly 6 points. Its 5th-grade math (85.71%) and 5th-grade ELA (71.43%) are the strongest results in the group, though its rank slipped from 4 stars to 3 stars and from 73rd to 58th percentile. Academy of Accelerated Learning is the notable overperformer: despite the highest free/reduced lunch rate at 77.08%, it posts the second-highest test average (47.2%) and beats its own district averages in several subjects.
Glenwood Elementary and Honey Creek Elementary sit mid-pack at 47.0% and 42.2% test averages, with Glenwood benefiting from the lowest student-teacher ratio (11.1) and Honey Creek holding the highest (19.6). Maple Grove Elementary has the lowest absenteeism (6.7%) and lowest spending ($14,662) yet a low 38.6% average. Whitman Elementary faces the greatest challenges: 37.5% chronic absenteeism, the lowest test average (28.2%), and the lowest rank percentile (11%).
