Summary:
The 53222 zip code area in Wisconsin is home to 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools, spread across the Wauwatosa School District and the Milwaukee School District. The data reveals a stark contrast in academic performance between the schools in the two districts, with the Wauwatosa schools, such as West High and Whitman Middle, consistently outperforming their Milwaukee counterparts on key metrics like test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism.
Among the standout schools in the area, West High in the Wauwatosa School District ranks in the top 20% of Wisconsin high schools, with high graduation rates, low dropout rates, and strong test scores that exceed district and state averages. Another high-performing school is Milwaukee German Immersion, an elementary school in the Milwaukee School District that has significantly higher academic performance compared to other Milwaukee public schools, with proficiency rates well above the district and state averages.
The data also highlights the impact of socioeconomic factors on student outcomes, with schools in the Milwaukee School District, such as Ninety-Fifth Street Elementary and Eighty-First Street Elementary, having higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch and lower academic performance. Additionally, the high rates of chronic absenteeism, particularly in the Milwaukee School District, are concerning and likely contribute to the lower academic performance in those schools.
