Townsend Street Elementary

Summary:

Townsend Street Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 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. Townsend Street Elementary has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Wisconsin, ranking in the bottom 1% of schools for the past several years.

Townsend Street Elementary faces significant challenges, with extremely low academic achievement across all grade levels and subject areas. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school had 0% proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics for most grades, significantly lagging behind the Milwaukee School District and Wisconsin state averages. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 88% in the 2021-2022 school year, much higher than the district and state averages. While the school's dropout rates have been relatively low in recent years, this metric is still an area of concern given the overall academic struggles of the school.

When comparing Townsend Street Elementary to nearby schools in the Milwaukee School District, such as Fifty-Third Street Elementary, Sherman Elementary, and Franklin Elementary, it becomes clear that the academic performance challenges are not unique to this school. The presence of nearby charter schools, such as Milwaukee College Preparatory School -- 38th Street and Milwaukee College Preparatory School -- 36th Street Campus, suggests that school choice may be a factor in the academic performance of Townsend Street Elementary, as these charter schools tend to have higher proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism than the traditional public schools in the area.

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.
