Summary:
Milwaukee Math and Science Academy Inc is a single-school district in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, consisting of one elementary school, Milwaukee Math and Science Academy, at 2703 N Sherman Blvd, which serves grades PK–8 and 241 students. Because the district contains only this school, district figures simply mirror the school's own results, so the Wisconsin state average is the only meaningful benchmark. The district ranks 430th of 432 districts — 0th percentile, 0 stars — and the school has placed in the bottom decile three years running: 4th percentile in 2023–2024, then 8th percentile in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026.
Test results are consistently far below state averages. In 2025–2026, every reported score trails the state, with the smallest gaps in 3rd grade English Language Arts (42.86% proficient versus 52.08% statewide) and 3rd grade math (38.10% versus 54.75%). Those two are the school's clear bright spots, and both rose sharply from 2024–2025. Beyond 3rd grade, math falls off dramatically: grades 4–8 posted 4.17%, 3.85%, 0%, 5.88%, and 4.55% proficiency. 6th grade math went from 50% in 2024–2025 — the closest any result came to the state — to 0% in 2025–2026. The widest gaps appear in 4th grade social studies, at 4.35% against 65.51% statewide, and 4th grade science, at 0% against 53.46%. Across all reported rows, the school averages about 12.3%, compared with roughly 55.1% statewide.
Out-of-school factors are significant. Chronic absenteeism was 51.2% in 2024–2025, nearly three times the state's 17.3%, and 90.46% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch. The dropout rate was 0.0% against 1.1% statewide, though that metric carries limited weight at a PK–8 school. The student-teacher ratio was 17.2, and per-student spending was $11,760 as of 2020–2021, older data than the rest. No test scores are suppressed or given as ranges — the story here is persistent, wide achievement gaps alongside heavy absenteeism and economic challenges.
