Student demographics can be found below. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families.

With about 52 teachers, Vincent High has a student/teacher ratio of about 15:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1.

Vincent High School, located on the far northwest side of Milwaukee, operates within the Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) district. The school is widely recognized for its specialized focus on agricultural sciences and career-technical education. Situated on a sprawling campus that includes working greenhouses, land for crop production, and facilities for animal science, Vincent offers students a unique, hands-on learning environment that integrates traditional academics with practical, vocational training in fields such as horticulture, food science, and veterinary assisting.
Beyond its agricultural niche, Vincent High School is dedicated to preparing students for both post-secondary education and the workforce through various career pathways. The school emphasizes project-based learning and community engagement, aiming to provide students with the skills necessary to succeed in modern industry sectors. By combining a conventional high school curriculum with its distinctive "farm-to-table" educational approach, Vincent serves as a specialized hub for students interested in environmental and biological sciences within the urban setting of Milwaukee.
