How to use this guideThe Milwaukee school guide is designed to help your family choose a school. In most districts, there are plenty of options – public schools, independent charter schools, and private schools. The goal is to narrow your search to a few schools that you like, visit those schools, then apply to the schools you believe will serve your child best. Our 5 steps to choosing a school has easy worksheets and vital information to help guide you through the process.

Our ZJOVVS�WYVÄSLZ highlight each school’s location, academic standing, programs, and other details.

The GreatSchools RatingThe GreatSchools Rating is a simple tool that helps you compare schools based on test scores and other available data, including student academic growth and college readiness. GreatSchools is always working to improve the rating and add more information when state education agencies make school quality data publicly available.

The GreatSchools Rating is on a 1-10 scale, where 10 is the highest and 1 is the lowest. Ratings are broken down into three categories: ratings 1-3 signal that the school is “below average,” 4-7 indicate “average,” and 8-10 are “above average.” Ratings for these categories are shown in red, yellow, and green (respectively) to help you see the distinctions.

;OL�MV\UKH[PVU�VM�[OL�.YLH[:JOVVSZ�9H[PUN�YLÅLJ[Z�OV^�well students do on standardized tests compared to other students in the state. Ratings in most states are based exclusively on test scores. While test results give parents a good sense of how well students are performing at a given school, it only provides a limited snapshot of school quality. Therefore, in a growing number of states, where data is available, the GreatSchools Rating includes additional information on student outcomes, such as information on how much students are learning in a given year and how prepared they are for college.

A broader picture of school qualityAs states make more data on school quality available, GreatSchools is committed to providing this information to parents and incorporating it into the GreatSchools Rating.


Based on extensive research on what contributes to long-term success for students, we are currently focused on three measures of academic quality:

Test scores: Test scores tell parents how well students at a school are doing in academics. This is measured as the percent of students meeting state standards based on state standardized tests. While this measure tells parents how well students at a school are doing currently, it does not necessarily show how much students are learning in a given year — that is, how much students are growing.

Student growth: Measures of student growth tell parents how much students are actually learning in a year, rather than how much they already know. A school with high growth could be a school with students who started behind grade level and have now caught up. It could also be a school with students who started already above grade level and have moved even further ahead of similar students. Student growth is typically measured through gains on test scores year over year, comparing similar students with each other.

College readiness: Data on high school graduation rates and participation/performance on college entrance exams (such as the SAT and ACT) show how well students are prepared for life after high school in college or career.

Calculating GreatSchools Ratings

For states where ratings include student growth and college readiness information, the overall GreatSchools Rating is an average of how well students do on each

sub-rating. Sub-ratings are weighted equally, though actual weights depend on the amount of data available per school and what grades that school serves. For instance, a K-5 school has no college readiness data, so the overall rating would be based 50% on student achievement and 50% on student growth. In contrast, the rating for a high school with data for all three measures would be based 33% on student achievement, 33% on student growth, and 33% on college readiness. Each sub-rating represents how a school compares to all other schools in the state on each measure, and these sub-ratings are averaged into an overall rating.

For more information on how GreatSchools calculates ratings, please see the GreatSchools Ratings Methodology Report at greatschools.org/catalog/pdf/New_Ratings_Methodology_Report.pdf

STEP 2: EXPLORE

What are your options?In Milwaukee, your child is not automatically assigned to a school and there are many kinds of schools to choose from, including public district, public charter, and private schools.

During your search, look for information in three key areas: academic performance, extracurricular programs, and school culture. Use that information and the school visit worksheet to make a list of schools you want to visit.

Traditional public district, public charter, private schools — what are they?

Traditional public district schools

Step 02

+ + =


• To apply to an MPS charter school, parents must list the desired MPS charter school in their top three choices on the Three Choice enrollment form.

Schedule your visit Call the school ahead of time and set a date and time for your visit. Find out if you will be able to speak to the princi-pal (or vice principal) and teachers. Ask to observe classes not only at your child’s grade level, but the next grade up as well. DO NOT just show up at the school.

STEP 3: VISIT

Nothing beats seeing a school in action!Visiting is the only way to get a feel for a school. You can soak in the atmosphere, observe teachers, and watch students in the classroom and out on the playground. You can also look at student work on the walls and see how well the facilities are taken care of. Make sure to visit more than one school before you decide.

Take notesUse the school visit checklist to take notes on what you see and to jot down answers to your questions. Your notes will come in handy when you’ve visited several schools HUK�^HU[�[V�YLJHSS�`V\Y�ÄYZ[�PTWYLZZPVUZ�HUK�[OL�KPќLYLUJ-es between the schools on your list.

If a student is returning to MPS, only proof of address is required.

Chapter 220 enrollment Chapter 220, the Voluntary Student Transfer Program, aims to racially integrate schools. African-American, Asian, Hispanic, and Native American students may attend schools in any of 23 suburban districts that participate in the program, depending on where they live and seats available. White suburban students may apply to attend a school in the MPS district. Chapter 220 applications can be obtained at MPS Central Services. Suburban residents T\Z[�HWWS`�H[�[OLPY�KPZ[YPJ[�VѝJL�

Open enrollmentDuring open enrollment, Milwaukee students can seek placement in suburban schools, and suburban students can seek placement in MPS schools. District timelines vary, so start early. Contact the district you’re interested in for details.

MPS charter schoolsTo apply to an MPS charter school, you must include the school on the Three Choice enrollment form. MPS charter schools will accept a student as long as there is an available seat. If there are no seats available, students are placed on a waiting list.

application. Independent charter schools will accept any Milwaukee student if there is an available seat. If there are no seats available, students are chosen by lottery.

Private schoolsIn Milwaukee, more than 120 private schools serve about 30,000 children, and most (around 110) participate in the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program (MPCP). MPCP provides tuition for Milwaukee students who qualify, based on economic status. Schools that participate in MPCP must hold a lottery if there are more applicants than available seats.

Enrollment procedures and timelines for Milwaukee’s private schools vary by school. Contact the school directly [V�ÄUK�V\[�HIV\[�KLHKSPULZ�HUK�[V�NL[�HU�HWWSPJH[PVU��Some private schools may have entrance requirements or require a test for admission (unless they participate in MPCP, in which case they must accept all students who apply, if there is space). Private schools that participate in MPCP have enrollment periods from the 1st through the 20th day of the month, starting in February; but each school decides which months they’ll accept applications, so be sure to contact individual schools directly for details.

www.greatschoolsmilwaukee.orgMilwaukee School Guide 2015-2016

Block schedule: A school schedule in which classes are longer and meet several times a week (vs. a typical schedule of daily, 40- to 50-minutes classes). Block schedules vary school to school, and they’re typically implemented in middle or high (not elementary) schools.

Charter school: A public school that operates independently and is free from some of the regulations that district schools must follow. Many (but not all) charter schools have a particular specialty or academic focus. Public charter schools are free, and there are no admissions requirements; they are open to all children as long as there is space available.

Homeschool: Some parents elect to educate their children at home rather than enrolling them in a traditional school. For more information on homeschooling, contact the state department of education.

KIPP-influenced school: KIPP (Knowledge Is Power Program) is a network of college preparatory public charter schools in under-resourced communities throughout the U.S. KIPP schools successfully graduate a high percentage of African-American and Hispanic/Latino students; most are eligible for free and reduced lunch. KIPP schools have very high expectations for students HUK�Z[Hќ��

Magnet school: A school that has a particular academic focus, e.g. science, technology, arts. Also known as specialty schools, magnet schools were created to promote racial integration by attracting students from throughout the district and from surrounding districts.

Montessori school: A school that follows the philosophy of Maria Montessori, an educator who developed a curriculum based on a highly structured learning environment with many individual, child-led, hands-on activities.

No Child Left Behind (NCLB) law: The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 is a federal law designed to introduce statewide accountability systems that track the progress of schools and districts in improving student outcomes. The law allows states to determine how success is measured, usually by standardized testing. NCLB applies most strictly to schools that receive Title I money from the federal government.

Private school: A school that is established through private means and sustained through tuition and donations, not government support.

Public school: A school supported by public funds that provides free education. When you pay your taxes, you are supporting the public schools in your community.

Waldorf school: A school based on the Waldorf education philosophy, which encourages children to learn through simultaneous discovery of the world and themselves. Waldorf schools emphasize multisensory, hands-on learning that helps children learn by connecting, for example, knitting and math skills or singing and literacy.
