Summary:
The 53210 zip code area of Milwaukee, Wisconsin is home to 7 schools, including 6 elementary schools and 1 high school, all part of the Milwaukee School District, except for Milwaukee Math and Science Academy, a public charter school. The data reveals stark performance gaps between the top-performing schools, like Milwaukee College Preparatory School - 36th Street Campus and Milwaukee French Immersion, and the lower-performing schools, such as Sherman Elementary and Clarke Street Elementary.
The top-performing schools consistently outperform the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, while the lower-performing schools struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates and low academic achievement. The high school, WHS Information Technology, stands out as having the lowest performance, highest dropout rate, and highest chronic absenteeism rate among the schools in the data set, highlighting the significant challenges facing high schools in the 53210 zip code area.
The data also suggests a strong correlation between poverty and academic achievement, as the schools with the highest free/reduced lunch rates also have the lowest proficiency rates. The two charter schools, Milwaukee College Preparatory School - 36th Street Campus and Milwaukee Math and Science Academy, appear to be outperforming the traditional public schools in the area, indicating that the charter school model may be providing some benefits in terms of academic outcomes.
