Summary:
The 53224 zip code area of Milwaukee, Wisconsin is home to 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 2 high schools, and no middle schools or alternative schools, all part of the Milwaukee School District, which is ranked 415 out of 426 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Among the schools in this area, Stuart Elementary stands out with the highest test scores, exceeding the Milwaukee district and Wisconsin state averages in English Language Arts and Math proficiency for 3rd-5th graders, as well as a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 91%. In contrast, the other elementary schools, such as Goodrich Elementary, Bruce Elementary, and Maple Tree Elementary, have relatively low test scores, with proficiency rates often under 20% in core subjects.
The schools in this zip code face significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates around 17.7%, well above the state average, and very high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 83.9% to 94.76%, indicating high levels of poverty in the area. While spending per student varies, from $10,725 at Darrell Lynn Hines Academy to $18,004 at Harold S. Vincent School of Agricultural Science, these differences do not appear to directly correlate with academic performance, suggesting that factors beyond just funding and staffing levels are at play in the underperformance of these schools.
