District-Level NCES Analysis
Milwaukee Science Education Consortium Inc. operates 1 public schools serving 1,401 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Wisconsin. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 combined schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Milwaukee County.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 1 schools offering Advanced Placement (5 AP courses district-wide), a 855.5:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 44.1% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 94.0% African American, 2.7% Hispanic or Latino, 0.6% Asian across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Milwaukee Academy of Science, enrolling 1,711 students (100% of the district's total enrollment).
Milwaukee Academy of Science accounts for 100.0% of all Milwaukee Science Education Consortium Inc. student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Milwaukee Science Education Consortium Inc. a distant remainder — means Milwaukee Science Education Consortium Inc.-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
Milwaukee Science Education Consortium Inc. has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 92.1% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch
free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Eligibility here is a supermajority of the population — well past the 75% concentration-grant threshold that unlocks extra funding on top of the basic Title I formula. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.
Milwaukee Science Education Consortium Inc. student-counselor ratio is 856:1 — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
Milwaukee Science Education Consortium Inc. chronic absenteeism rate is 44.1% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
