Rogers Street Academy

Summary:

Rogers Street Academy is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Milwaukee School District, with 529 students. However, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Rogers Street Academy has significantly underperformed both the district and the state of Wisconsin on standardized test scores, with only 10.71% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 21.43% for the district and 52.07% statewide.

The school also struggles with extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching over 50% in 2021-2022, which is significantly higher than the 29.6% to 56.1% range seen at nearby schools like Lincoln Avenue Elementary, Forest Home Elementary, and Seeds of Health Elementary Program. Additionally, while the school's dropout rates have been low in recent years, they are still higher than the 0% rates seen at some nearby schools like U.S. Grant.

Despite being located in close proximity to several higher-performing schools, Rogers Street Academy significantly underperforms its neighbors on nearly every metric, including ALBA - Academia de Lenguaje y Bellas Artes, Greenfield Bilingual, and Seeds of Health Elementary Program. This suggests that the school's challenges are not solely due to a lack of funding or resources, as it spends over $14,000 per student, on par with or higher than the spending levels of nearby schools.

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.
