Summary:

The 53227 zip code area of West Allis, Wisconsin is home to three elementary schools: Irving Elementary, Mitchell Elementary, and Franklin Elementary, all part of the West Allis-West Milwaukee School District.

Based on the available data, Mitchell Elementary appears to be the standout school in this group, with the highest statewide ranking, stronger academic performance, and a more advantaged student population compared to the other two schools. Mitchell Elementary students outperform the district and state averages on the Forward Exam across multiple subject areas, and the school has the lowest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients and the lowest student-teacher ratio.

In contrast, Irving Elementary and Franklin Elementary have lower academic performance, higher rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, and less favorable student-teacher ratios. These disparities suggest that factors beyond just funding and resources, such as student demographics and school leadership, may be contributing to the differences in outcomes among the three schools in this area.
