Summary:
The United Community Center Inc district in Wisconsin operates two public charter schools: Bruce Guadalupe, which serves grades PK-8, and United Community Center Acosta Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. Both schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with over 75% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
While Bruce Guadalupe is the larger of the two schools with 1,360 students, it outperforms United Community Center Acosta Middle School on several key metrics, including lower dropout rates (9.0% vs. 6.4%), lower chronic absenteeism (21.8% vs. 40.8%), and stronger test scores, particularly in 8th grade. However, both schools generally underperform the state average on standardized tests.
The United Community Center Inc district as a whole is ranked 367 out of 428 districts in Wisconsin and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, suggesting systemic challenges that may be impacting the performance of both schools. Addressing the high rates of chronic absenteeism and improving academic outcomes will be crucial for supporting the students in this district.
