TOWNSEND STREET ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Townsend Street Elementary is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Milwaukee School District school district, located in Milwaukee, WI with about 333 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 12 teachers, Townsend Street Elementary has a student/teacher ratio of about 27:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Townsend Street Elementary School is a public school located in the Sherman Park neighborhood of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and operates as part of the Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) district. Situated on North Sherman Boulevard, the school serves a diverse student population in the elementary grade levels, focusing on providing a foundational education that emphasizes academic growth, literacy, and social-emotional development. Like many schools within the MPS system, Townsend Street strives to create a supportive learning environment that addresses the unique needs of its community while preparing students for success in middle school and beyond.

The school is deeply integrated into the local urban landscape and works to provide students with consistent access to core curricula, including math, science, and reading, alongside various student support services. Through its affiliation with the district, Townsend Street benefits from broader MPS initiatives aimed at closing achievement gaps and promoting equitable educational opportunities.
