HAPA-Hmong American Peace Academy K3-12

Summary:

HAPA-Hmong American Peace Academy K3-12 is a public charter school in Milwaukee, Wisconsin that serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. This high-performing school consistently achieves strong academic outcomes, with graduation rates ranging from 90.5% to 100% over the past 5 years, significantly outpacing nearby schools like Wisconsin Conservatory of Lifelong Learning (26.3%) and Obama School of Career and Technical Education (26.5%).

HAPA students also excel on standardized tests, outperforming the Milwaukee School District and the state of Wisconsin in proficiency rates across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, HAPA's 6th grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 55.41%, compared to 25.66% for the Milwaukee School District and 54.1% for Wisconsin. While HAPA has relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 6% to 22.6%, these are still lower than some nearby schools like Wisconsin Conservatory of Lifelong Learning (86.4%) and Obama School of Career and Technical Education (88.9%).

HAPA's success in serving its high-need student population, with 80.24% to 87.51% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, suggests the school is effectively supporting its students and helping them achieve academic success. The school's higher spending per student ($12,830 to $14,862) and higher student-teacher ratio (25.6 to 37 students per teacher) may contribute to its strong performance, especially when compared to the lower-performing nearby schools in the Milwaukee School District.

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.
