Auer Avenue Elementary

Summary:

Auer Avenue Elementary is a public elementary school in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, serving 160 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Milwaukee School District, which is ranked 417 out of 428 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Auer Avenue Elementary has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Wisconsin, with rankings between 1014 and 1072 out of over 1,000 schools in recent years. The school's performance on standardized tests is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, Auer Avenue Elementary has experienced extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 50.4% to 96.9% in recent years, which is much higher than the district and state averages. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 93.75% to 98.2%, indicating that the student population faces significant socioeconomic challenges.

Despite the low academic performance, Auer Avenue Elementary has a relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $14,960 to $21,117 in recent years. Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Jackson Elementary, Franklin Elementary, and Keefe Avenue Elementary, also struggle with low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates, suggesting that the challenges faced by Auer Avenue Elementary are not unique but rather systemic within the Milwaukee School District. In contrast, the nearby Milwaukee College Preparatory School campuses, which are public charter schools, generally outperform the traditional public schools in the area in terms of academic achievement and student engagement.

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.
