Original Research by School Decision on Trans Center for Youth Inc
Trans Center for Youth Inc is a small Wisconsin school district that operates a single high school, Escuela Verde. The district serves grades nine through twelve and is located within Milwaukee County. Its enrollment is small for a high-school grade band. The student body is predominantly Hispanic, with a modest share of Black students and a smaller number of White students, along with a few Native American students. Data on students who qualify for free or reduced-price meals, students with disabilities, and English learners were not provided, so this profile cannot describe those supports.
State assessment results for this district are suppressed, meaning no proficiency rates for math, English language arts, science, or social studies are publicly reported for the year available. This is common when a tested group is very small, because privacy rules prevent releasing data that could identify individual students. A reader should not interpret missing scores as a sign of low performance, but it does mean the usual benchmark for comparing academic achievement is absent. The district also has no reported graduation rate, which is unusual for a grade nine through twelve district; the data simply did not include it.
One measure that is available is chronic absenteeism, reported in the comparison among Milwaukee County’s districts. This district’s chronic absenteeism rate falls in the bottom quartile of that group. In plain terms, a substantially higher share of students here are absent for a significant portion of the school year than is typical across the county. That is a soft spot in the available data, and a parent or resident may want to ask the school directly what supports are in place to improve attendance.
The district brief turned up no recent changes or initiatives with lasting impact to describe. Escuela Verde is an independent charter school, and the district’s sole school. There is no information on course offerings, advanced coursework, career programs, or dual credit. The community context for the district is not provided, so there is no sense of the surrounding neighborhood or housing market.
Given the very limited data, this profile is necessarily spare. A parent considering Trans Center for Youth Inc would need to reach out to the school for test results, graduation rates, special education services, and a sense of the academic and extracurricular program. The available numbers point to a small, heavily Hispanic high school in Milwaukee County with a high chronic absenteeism rate and no public measure of academic performance.
