School Overview

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.
