Garland Elementary

Summary:

Garland Elementary is a public elementary school located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 564 students. The school is part of the Milwaukee School District, which is ranked 417 out of 428 districts in Wisconsin and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Garland Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Wisconsin elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on the Forward Exam across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 13.89% to 31.15%, compared to the state average of 50.36% to 54.1%. In mathematics, the proficiency rates at Garland Elementary ranged from 9.68% to 39.06%, while the state average was 53.29% to 56.58%. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates and a fluctuating dropout rate.

While the nearby schools, such as Lowell International Elementary, Victory Elementary, and Cooper Elementary, also perform below the state and district averages, some schools in the Greenfield and Greendale school districts, such as Edgewood Elementary and College Park Elementary, demonstrate significantly higher academic achievement. This suggests that the challenges faced by Garland Elementary may be more systemic within the Milwaukee School District, rather than solely a reflection of the local community.

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.

I've dealt with terrible problems at this school. In October, I had to make a district complaint because a teacher physically restrained my child as he was trying to get in my car. School leadership failed to address my concerns and was less than empathetic. I had to witness a teacher being physical with my child and it SCARY. I've never dealt with anything like that before and there was no reason for him to be manhandled by a teacher! Cut to just 1 month later and my son was given a black eye. I just learned today he's still in the same classes as the bully who hit him. WHY?! I addressed that with the principal and got zero empathy. Leadership there have a very lackadaisical approach to disciplining students. The child who gave my son a black eye wasn't even suspended from school. My son now has a permanent knot on the side of his eye and no one has even said they're sorry he experienced that. Everything there seems to be reactive and the reactions are just simply inadequate.

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.
