Milele Chikasa Anana Elementary School

Summary:

Milele Chikasa Anana Elementary School is a public elementary school in Madison, Wisconsin, serving 430 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Madison Metropolitan School District, which is ranked 330 out of 428 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Milele Chikasa Anana Elementary School faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 20% of Wisconsin elementary schools over the past 10 years, with its highest ranking being 758 out of 1,067 schools in 2021-2022. The school's performance on subgroup rankings is also concerning, with the school ranking in the bottom 15% for African American students and the bottom 20% for English Language Learners and students with low socioeconomic status. Additionally, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 14.1% in 2019-2020 to 33.2% in 2022-2023, well above the state and district averages.

Academically, Milele Chikasa Anana Elementary School consistently performs below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics 10-20 percentage points lower than the state and district averages. When compared to nearby schools, such as Van Hise Elementary, which consistently ranks in the top 5% of Wisconsin elementary schools, the performance gap is quite significant. Despite the school's challenges, Milele Chikasa Anana spends more per student than nearby schools, suggesting that funding and resources alone may not be the primary driver of the school's underperformance.

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.

Open Quote Who is writing those statistics? Maybe it's just outdated, since student-teacher ratio in FALK Elementary is definitely NOT 9 anymore! and look how far behind academically they are comparing to other schools in Madison. It's not teachers' fault, we all know why (just check demography and neighborhoods). The little kids are OK, K-1 are safe and playful. ECE program is great. The problem starts in 2/3 grades and it's called BULLYING! guess who is in minority this time? ah - and they somehow 'protect' the bullies. I think it's like reversed discrimination, but they have their own reasons for that..."When we don't know what is it about - it's for sure about one thing..."
Children's well being is not respected at all, they feelings, they problems are nothing for the 'upper management'. The ratio of kids in a class is important (needs to be a certain amount of different races in one group), even when it means splitting a class/best friends/singling out kids etc. And quite often parents cannot 'work things out' with a principal. Usually end up with changing schools. Think before you put your precious little one here. Sad sad place for your child to be. Unless you have no choice... Close Quote

Open Quote I am a practicum student at Falk and I am very impressed with the rigor of their academic programs. It is important to note that every school will have a few bad seeds. 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.
