Trowbridge Street School of Great Lakes Studies

Summary:

Trowbridge Street School of Great Lakes Studies is a small elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Milwaukee School District, with 209 students. Despite its high-need population, with 84% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 15% of Trowbridge Street School of Great Lakes Studies has struggled with significant academic and operational challenges.

Academically, the school consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages, with only 19-40% of students proficient in English Language Arts and 17-42% proficient in math. Trowbridge also faces high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.8% to 58.7%, and dropout rates as high as 3.3%. These issues are not limited to the overall student population, as Trowbridge's student subgroups, including female, male, Hispanic, and special education students, all rank in the bottom 30-40% of Wisconsin elementary schools.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($19,111 in 2020-2021) than nearby schools, which ranged from $11,828 to $17,796 per student, Trowbridge is not seeing commensurate academic results. This raises questions about the effective use of resources and the need for a deeper analysis of the school's spending and programming. In contrast, the high-performing Downtown Montessori and Fernwood Montessori schools in the area demonstrate that alternative educational approaches can lead to strong academic outcomes, even in a high-need urban setting. Addressing the challenges at Trowbridge will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to identify and implement effective interventions and strategies to support 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.
