Stellar Collegiate Charter School

Summary:

Stellar Collegiate Charter School is an elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, part of the Carmen High School of Science and Technology Inc district. With a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking 921 out of 1,061 elementary schools in the state, Stellar Collegiate faces significant challenges in student performance, attendance, and resource allocation compared to its peers.

Stellar Collegiate has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 46.0%, significantly higher than the state average. Its test scores are also well below state averages across all grade levels and subjects, with only 14.71% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 52.07%. The school serves a high-poverty community, with 97.42% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, much higher than nearby schools like Riley Dual Language Montessori School and Hayes Bilingual School.

Stellar Collegiate's performance has declined over the past few years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 983 out of 1,067 schools in 2022-2023 to 921 out of 1,061 schools in 2023-2024. The school's struggles are particularly pronounced for special education students, ranking in the bottom 25% of Wisconsin elementary schools in this category. While Stellar Collegiate's student-teacher ratio is lower than nearby schools, its spending per student has fluctuated, suggesting a need for more consistent and targeted resource allocation to support student success.

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.

AWFUL experience. If you’re considering this school, RUN! Dishonest staff/teachers, LOTS of time spent watching random movies and on technology. Low reading and math rates, hardly any other subjects are taught. Close Quote

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.
