It’s a good thing we don’t need to change much about the overall success of students in Milwaukee because there really isn’t much change coming these days.
Fewer than 20% of students in both Milwaukee Public Schools and the 100-plus private schools in the publicly funded voucher program were rated as proficient in reading in the most recently released results.
Fewer than 15% of students in both MPS and the voucher schools were rated as proficient in math.
Fewer than 60% of MPS kids graduated high school in four years in the most recent data (Class of 2015) and the percentage has declined a notch each year, starting with the Class of 2011.
Oh, well. What can you do?
Not too much different. At least that seems like a reasonable summary of the answers emerging as a new school year comes close.
