GROPPI HIGH SCHOOL

Groppi High is a Title I public high school that is part of the Milwaukee School District school district, located in Milwaukee, WI with about 140 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th 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, Groppi High has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. 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.

Groppi High School, located at 1312 N 27th St in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is part of the Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) district. Named after Father James Groppi, a prominent civil rights leader in Milwaukee, the school is designed to serve students who may benefit from a non-traditional educational environment. It functions as an alternative high school, offering a smaller, more personalized setting aimed at helping students recover credits, stay on track for graduation, and develop the social and academic skills necessary for post-secondary success.

The school emphasizes a supportive atmosphere, focusing on individualized learning plans and holistic student development to address the unique needs of its diverse student body. By providing smaller class sizes and targeted interventions, Groppi High seeks to remove barriers to learning and re-engage students who have struggled in larger, conventional school settings. As an integral part of the MPS system, the school is committed to fostering a community-centered environment that promotes equity, academic growth, and long-term achievement for its students.
