Summary:
The Milwaukee Math and Science Academy Inc district in Milwaukee, WI, includes one elementary school, Milwaukee Math and Science Academy, which serves grades PK–8 and enrolls 241 students, so district and school figures are essentially the same. It is a high-poverty school: 90.46% of students received free/reduced-price lunch in 2024–25, and 51.2% were chronically absent, compared with 17.3% statewide. Per-student spending was $11,760 in 2020–21, and the student-teacher ratio was 17.2:1 in 2024–25.
Academically, the school ranks near the bottom of Wisconsin. In 2025–26 it ranked 954 of 1,039 schools, in the 8th percentile with 0 stars, a modest improvement from 1,019 of 1,061, or the 4th percentile, in 2023–24. District rank was 430 of 432. In 2025–26, school averages were 18.1% in ELA versus 54.0% state, 9.4% in math versus 53.7%, 9.0% in social studies versus 65.1%, and 6.8% in science versus 52.7%. No reported grade, subject, and year cell exceeded the state. Fourth-grade social studies was 4.35% versus 65.51%, and fourth-grade science was 0% versus 53.46%.
There are a few bright spots. Third-grade ELA rose to 42.86% in 2025–26 from 14.29%, and third-grade math rose to 38.10% from 23.81%. Sixth-grade math hit 50% in 2024–25, just below the state’s 52.98%, but fell to 0% in 2025–26; with only 241 students, small grade cohorts can swing results sharply. In 2025–26, grades 4–8 math ranged from 0% to 5.88%. The dropout rate was 0.0%, below the state’s 1.1%. Overall, parents should see severe, broad achievement gaps alongside early-grade improvement and a serious absenteeism challenge.
