"Education" in the Milwaukee Public Schools

NAEP figures came out.

The Milwaukee Public Schools' grade-schools were measured on the NAEP tests.

How bad was it?

Horrible.  Awful.  Terrible.  Rotten.  Or worse.....

In mathematics, the percentage of students 'above proficient' was 15% in 4th grade, 12% in 8th.

In reading, the percentage of students 'above proficient' was 15% in 4th, 15% in 8th.

In science, the percentage of students 'above proficient' was 12% in 4th, 6% in 8th.  (Yes, 6%.)

Want a comparison?  OK.  Lets' go Statewide public schools!!!

(Same breakdowns, at or above "proficient"):

mathematics:  42%, 39%

reading:  35%, 39%

science:  41%, 40%

There is no Wisconsin-only score-sheet for private schools.  So we'll use the national numbers for grade schools as above.

mathematics:  48%, 47%

reading:  49%, 57%

science:  48%, 43%

So nationally, PRIVATE schools delivered 300-600% better results than Milwaukee PUBLIC schools. 

Sounds like more "choice" schools would be immoral, rotten, and terrible for the students.
