District-Level NCES Analysis

Minnesota Math and Science Academy operates 2 public schools serving 366 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Minnesota. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 other, 1 elementary schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 570 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Ramsey County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $20,396 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 0.3% local, 75.5% state, and 24.3% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. The district's equity score — 89/100, ranked #11 of 417 in Minnesota against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 2 schools offering Advanced Placement (8 AP courses district-wide), a 327:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 24.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 94.1% African American, 4.7% Asian, 0.6% White across the district's schools.

Mmsa Secondary School accounts for 57.4% of all Minnesota Math and Science Academy student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Minnesota Math and Science Academy-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. 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.

Minnesota Math and Science Academy has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 91.0% 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). Areas above 75% eligibility — including this one — receive concentration grants 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.

Minnesota Math and Science Academy student-counselor ratio is 327:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts

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 Variation between sub-units within Minnesota Math and Science Academy is typically wider than the Minnesota Math and Science Academy-aggregate figure suggests.

Minnesota Math and Science Academy chronic absenteeism rate is 24.5% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism

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 Variation between sub-units within Minnesota Math and Science Academy is typically wider than the Minnesota Math and Science Academy-aggregate figure suggests.
