Summary:
The 53233 zip code area of Milwaukee, Wisconsin is home to 6 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 2 high schools, and 2 alternative schools. The data reveals stark differences in academic performance among these schools, with Highland Community School, a public charter elementary school, standing out as the top performer. This school ranks 601 out of 1,061 Wisconsin elementary schools and has significantly higher proficiency rates in core subjects compared to the Milwaukee School District and Wisconsin state averages.
In contrast, Milwaukee Academy of Science, a public charter school serving grades PK-12, and Wisconsin Conservatory of Lifelong Learning, an alternative school, struggle with low proficiency rates. These schools also face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, which can negatively impact student learning and achievement. The alternative schools, such as Project STAY-Supporting Teachers and Youth, have lower graduation rates and higher dropout rates compared to the traditional high schools.
The data suggests a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, as the schools with higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch generally have lower proficiency rates. This highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by underperforming schools and their student populations in the 53233 zip code area.
