Summary

Hmong College Prep Academy Middle School is a public charter school in Saint Paul, Minnesota, serving 682 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Hmong College Prep Academy district, which is ranked 400 out of 446 districts in the state.

Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Hmong College Prep Academy Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Minnesota middle schools over the past 8 years, with significantly lower proficiency rates on state assessments compared to the state average. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in math and reading were just 10.25% and 19.83%, respectively, far below the state averages of 45.21% and 49.59%. Nearby schools like Murray Middle School, Hidden River Middle School, and Laura Jeffrey Academy Charter perform significantly better on these assessments.

The school's low performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as Asian students, Special Education students, and students from low-income families, who rank in the bottom 10-20% of their respective subgroups statewide. Addressing these equity concerns and learning from the practices of higher-performing nearby schools will be crucial for Hmong College Prep Academy Middle School to improve academic outcomes for all its students.
