Lancaster Elementary

Summary:

Lancaster Elementary is a public elementary school in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 320 students. 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.

Lancaster Elementary consistently ranks among the lowest-performing schools in Wisconsin, with academic performance significantly below the state and district averages. The school also faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 56.9% to 85.8% over the past five years, and high dropout rates ranging from 0.8% to 6.1%. These issues are compounded by the fact that Lancaster Elementary serves a high-poverty student population, with 87.16% to 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While the school spends between $13,381 to $15,135 per student, which is higher than the district average, its academic performance remains extremely low.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Kilbourn Elementary, Browning Elementary, and Grantosa Drive Elementary, also struggle academically and have high rates of poverty and chronic absenteeism, though not to the same extent as Lancaster Elementary. This suggests that the challenges faced by Lancaster Elementary are not unique but are reflective of the broader educational landscape in the area. Addressing these complex issues will require a multifaceted approach that considers the unique needs of the school's population and the broader community context.

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.
