Community Schools Partnership
Sixteenth Street is proud to form part of three Community Schools partnerships with Lincoln Avenue Elementary, Zablocki Community School, and South Division High School.
Funded by the United Way of Greater Milwaukee & Waukesha County, Milwaukee Community Schools Partnership (MCSP) is a collective strategy to transform schools into a place where students, families, staff, and the surrounding community can ensure every student is successful.
The Community School model has been implemented across the country showing that authentic engagement and shared leadership combined with the coordinated community partnerships focused on equity can improve educational outcomes, school climate, and investment in local neighborhoods. The Cincinnati school district, which has turned every school into a hub of the community, has seen graduation rates rise from 51% to more than 80% while dramatically reducing the achievement gap between black and white students.
