Holmes Elementary

Summary:

Holmes Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the high-poverty Milwaukee, Wisconsin area, part of the Milwaukee School District, which is ranked 417 out of 428 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating.

Holmes Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Wisconsin elementary schools over the past decade, with extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, poor test scores well below district and state averages, and low performance for special education students. The school also has higher-than-average dropout rates and an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population. Nearby Carver Academy, Cass Street Elementary, and Gaenslen Elementary also face similar challenges, suggesting systemic issues within the district.

Despite consistent low performance, Holmes Elementary has not shown significant improvement over the past decade, indicating a need for more effective interventions and support. While the school spends significantly more per student compared to nearby charter schools, simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution. Addressing the underlying issues of poverty, chronic absenteeism, and special education needs may be crucial for improving student outcomes at Holmes Elementary and other struggling schools in the Milwaukee School District.

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.
