Summary:
The 53216 zip code area of Milwaukee, Wisconsin is home to 8 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. These schools serve a high-needs population, with most students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance and other key metrics between the schools, suggesting that students in this area face significant educational challenges and inequities.
Among the standout schools, Dr. Howard Fuller Collegiate Academy has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 90.3% and a low dropout rate of 2.6%. In contrast, Central City Cyberschool, an alternative school, has a 23.8% 4-year graduation rate and a 3.7% dropout rate, but serves a particularly vulnerable student population with 96.66% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Across the schools, chronic absenteeism is a significant issue, with rates ranging from 55.5% at Central City Cyberschool to 87.9% at Marshall High. Test scores are generally low, with most schools performing well below the state and Milwaukee School District averages. The wide range in per-student spending, from $14,311 at Marshall High to $22,742 at Central City Cyberschool, may indicate funding challenges that could impact the schools' ability to provide quality education and support services.
