Maple Tree Elementary

Summary:

Maple Tree Elementary is a public elementary school in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, serving 231 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.

Maple Tree Elementary has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Wisconsin, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. The school faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 36.8% to 68.8%, and very low academic performance, with 0% proficiency in 3rd grade English Language Arts and Mathematics, compared to over 50% statewide. The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 92.64% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Milwaukee School District, such as Bryant Elementary, Milwaukee Sign Language Elementary, and Parkview Elementary, also perform poorly on academic measures, suggesting that the challenges facing Maple Tree Elementary are not unique, but rather indicative of systemic issues within the district. Despite spending significantly more per student than the state average, the school has not been able to translate this additional funding into improved academic outcomes, raising questions about the effective use of resources and the need for a more comprehensive approach to supporting student success.

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.
