Summary:
The 53223 zip code area in Wisconsin is home to 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools, all part of either the Brown Deer School District or the Milwaukee School District. While the schools share some common challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates, there is a stark contrast in academic performance between the Brown Deer and Milwaukee schools.
The standout school in the data is Brown Deer Middle/High School, which ranks 364th out of 431 Wisconsin high schools and has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 91.0% and a low dropout rate of 1.3%. However, its test scores are below the state averages, with only 39-51% of students proficient or better in various subjects. In contrast, the Green Tree Preparatory Academy, a public charter high school, has the lowest performance in the data set, ranking 431st out of 431 Wisconsin high schools, with only 2-12% of students proficient or better in various subjects.
The data also reveals that the schools in the Milwaukee School District have very high free and reduced lunch rates, ranging from 87.5% to 98.6%, while the Brown Deer schools have lower but still significant free and reduced lunch rates, at 55.78% and 63.43%. This socioeconomic factor may be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance of the Milwaukee schools, along with the high student-teacher ratios, particularly at Green Tree Preparatory Academy.
