Summary:
La Casa De Esperanza Inc operates a single elementary charter school, La Casa de Esperanza Charter School, which serves grades PK-8 in Waukesha, Wisconsin. The school has an enrollment of 225 students and faces significant challenges, including a low statewide ranking, high chronic absenteeism, and poor academic performance on standardized tests.
La Casa de Esperanza Charter School has been ranked in the bottom 20% of Wisconsin elementary schools for the past two school years, with a ranking of 879 out of 1,061 schools in 2023-2024 and 897 out of 1,067 schools in 2022-2023. The school's proficiency rates on the Forward Exam in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science are well below the state averages across all grade levels. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 22.6%, which is more than double the state average.
Despite the school's low academic performance, it has a relatively low percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch at only 3.11% in 2022-2023, which is much lower than typical for a school serving a high-need population. The school's per-student spending of $10,175 in 2020-2021 suggests that the issue may not be a lack of funding, but rather how those resources are being allocated and utilized to support student learning. Further investigation would be needed to determine the root causes of these issues and develop targeted strategies for improvement at La Casa de Esperanza Charter School.
