Summary

Achieve Language Academy is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Saint Paul, Minnesota, with 464 students. The school is part of the Achieve Language Academy district, which is ranked 410 out of 446 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Achieve Language Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Minnesota elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a current ranking of 809 out of 872 schools and a 0-star rating.

Achieve Language Academy significantly underperforms the state average on standardized tests, with only 13.08% of students proficient or better in Math and 25.67% proficient in Reading, compared to state averages of 45.21% and 49.59%, respectively. The school serves a high-need student population, with 82.97% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Achieve Language Academy also struggles to support the academic achievement of its diverse student subgroups, ranking in the bottom quarter of Minnesota elementary schools for female, male, Asian, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students.

While the nearby Eastern Heights Elementary and Hazel Park Preparatory Academy also struggle academically, the public L'Etoile du Nord French Immersion school significantly outperforms Achieve Language Academy and the district average. Achieve Language Academy's low student-teacher ratio of 13.2 students per teacher presents opportunities for targeted interventions, but the school's consistent underperformance suggests that significant changes may be necessary to improve student outcomes.
