Summary:
Milwaukee Math and Science Academy Inc is a single elementary public charter school serving grades PK-8 with 231 students. Based on the available data, this school appears to be consistently underperforming, with low proficiency rates, high poverty and absenteeism, and a lack of improvement over time.
Milwaukee Math and Science Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Wisconsin elementary schools in recent years, with a district rank of 426 out of 428 and a statewide rank of 1019 out of 1061. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on the Forward Exam, is significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, ranging from 0% to 17.39% proficient compared to 49.62% to 62.96% statewide.
The school faces significant challenges, including a very high percentage of students from low-income families (90.04% free/reduced lunch) and a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 42.2%. Despite adequate resources, with a spending per student of $11,760, the school has been unable to translate these resources into improved academic outcomes for its students. Addressing these challenges will likely require a comprehensive approach focused on improving instructional quality, addressing non-academic barriers to learning, and implementing effective school improvement strategies.
