King International Baccalaureate Middle

Summary:

King International Baccalaureate Middle is a public middle school in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, serving 271 students in grades 6-8. The school 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.

King International Baccalaureate Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Wisconsin middle schools, with extremely low academic performance compared to state and district averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics were less than 10% for most grade levels, significantly below the Wisconsin state averages of around 50% proficiency. The school also has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 75.3% and relatively high dropout rates ranging from 1.2% to 4.0% over the past several years. Additionally, 95.57% of the school's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

When comparing King International Baccalaureate Middle to other nearby schools in the Milwaukee School District, such as Lincoln Middle and Andrew S. Douglas Middle, the academic performance, attendance, and other key metrics are consistently lower, indicating that King International Baccalaureate Middle is one of the lowest-performing schools in the district. Despite the school's low performance, it has relatively high per-student spending, suggesting that the issue may not be solely a lack of funding, but rather the effective allocation and utilization of resources. While the school's International Baccalaureate (IB) program could be a potential strength, the school's overall challenges with academic performance and student engagement suggest significant obstacles in effectively implementing the IB program.

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.
