Summary:
The 53222 zip code area in Milwaukee, Wisconsin is home to 4 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. Based on the available data, Milwaukee German Immersion stands out as the highest-performing school in the set, with a strong statewide ranking and significantly higher test scores compared to the Milwaukee School District and Wisconsin state averages. In contrast, Ninety-Fifth Street Elementary, Eighty-First Street Elementary, and Eisenhower Elementary all have lower statewide rankings and test scores that lag behind the district and state averages.
A concerning trend across all four schools is the high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.7% to 17.7%, which likely impacts student learning and achievement. Additionally, Ninety-Fifth Street Elementary and Eighty-First Street Elementary have very high free/reduced lunch rates of 79.48% and 87.99%, respectively, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage among their student populations. In contrast, Milwaukee German Immersion and Eisenhower Elementary have lower but still significant free/reduced lunch rates of 32.24% and 33.24%.
The data also reveals differences in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios across the schools. Eighty-First Street Elementary has the highest per-student spending at $18,175, while the other schools range from $11,994 to $12,985 per student. Eisenhower Elementary has the lowest student-teacher ratio at 11:1, while the other schools range from 17.1:1 to 20.7:1. However, these factors do not necessarily translate into better academic performance, suggesting that other factors beyond just funding and class size may be more important in driving student achievement in this area.
