Academy of Accelerated Learning

Summary:

The Academy of Accelerated Learning is an elementary school located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 563 students. It 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.

The school has had a mixed performance history, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 651 and 835 out of over 1,000 Wisconsin elementary schools over the past decade. Its academic performance is generally higher than the Milwaukee School District average but lower than the statewide average, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, the school's performance is relatively strong in Social Studies, with 4th-grade proficiency rates reaching 63.93% in 2023-2024, compared to the Milwaukee School District's 31.3% and the statewide 62.96%. The school's African American and English Language Learner (ELL) students perform relatively well, but its Special Education and Multi-racial student subgroups perform poorly.

The nearby schools, such as Whitman Elementary, Milwaukee Spanish Immersion, and Honey Creek Elementary, have similar performance profiles to the Academy of Accelerated Learning, with low statewide rankings and mixed academic outcomes. However, some nearby schools, like Glenwood Elementary (in the Greenfield School District) and Mitchell Elementary, demonstrate stronger academic performance, suggesting that the challenges faced by the Academy of Accelerated Learning may be specific to 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.
