Darrell Lynn Hines Academy

Summary:

Darrell Lynn Hines Academy is a small public charter elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with just 192 students. Unfortunately, this school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Wisconsin elementary schools over the past decade, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, and both female and male students perform in the bottom 1% of the state.

The school faces significant challenges, including a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 38.6%, far exceeding the state average of 15-20%. Academically, the school's test scores are extremely low across all grade levels and subjects, with only 31.25% of 3rd graders proficient in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 52.07%, and math proficiency ranging from 0% to 35.71%, well below the state averages of 50-56%. Additionally, over 90% of the students at Darrell Lynn Hines Academy receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population. The school spends around $10,000-$11,000 per student, which is lower than the spending at many of the nearby Milwaukee School District public schools.

Interestingly, the nearby public schools, such as Goodrich Elementary, Barton Elementary, and Kluge Elementary, also have very low performance, with test scores and rankings similar to or slightly better than Darrell Lynn Hines Academy. This suggests that the challenges faced by Darrell Lynn Hines Academy are not unique but are reflective of the broader educational landscape in this part of Milwaukee. While the school has a relatively high dropout rate of 2.2%, some nearby Milwaukee Scholars Charter School have even higher dropout rates of 5.7%, and the chronic absenteeism rates at the nearby public schools, ranging from 45.5% to 65.7%, are also alarmingly high.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
