Stuart Elementary

Summary:

Stuart Elementary is a public elementary school in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, serving 256 students in grades PK-5. It 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. Unfortunately, Stuart Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Wisconsin elementary schools over the past decade.

Some key insights about Stuart Elementary include its extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 37.6% to 49.8% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, its students perform well below state and district averages in all subject areas and grade levels on the Forward Exam. For example, in 2023-2024, only 32.56% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA, compared to 52.07% statewide. The school also has an exceptionally high percentage of students (over 90%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population. Despite spending significantly more per student ($17,060 in 2020-2021) compared to the state average, the school has not seen any improvement in its statewide ranking or test scores over the past decade.

Interestingly, while Stuart Elementary ranks poorly overall, it performs relatively better for certain student subgroups, such as African American students and English Language Learners. The nearby schools in the Milwaukee School District, such as Bryant Elementary, Goodrich Elementary, and Barton Elementary, exhibit similar patterns of low performance, high poverty, and high chronic absenteeism, indicating broader challenges facing the 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.
