ALBA - Academia de Lenguaje y Bellas Artes

Summary:

ALBA - Academia de Lenguaje y Bellas Artes is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with 595 students. Unfortunately, this school is struggling, consistently ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Wisconsin elementary schools with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

ALBA's academic performance is significantly below the Milwaukee School District and Wisconsin state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 19.67% of 3rd graders at ALBA were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 21.43% for the district and 52.07% for the state. The school's subgroup performance is also concerning, with female students ranking in the bottom 10% and male students in the bottom 15% of Wisconsin elementary schools. ALBA also has high chronic absenteeism and dropout rates, ranging from 2.5% to 17.1% and 0% to 20% respectively over the past few years.

While ALBA spends slightly more per student than the nearby schools, between $12,627 and $13,903, this is still below the state average. The proximity of ALBA to several other low-performing schools in the Milwaukee School District suggests that there may be systemic issues within the district that are contributing to the poor performance of these schools. In contrast, the nearby Greenfield Bilingual school has slightly better academic outcomes, indicating that a focus on bilingual education may be a promising approach for improving student achievement in this 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.
