Community Of Peace Academy

The Community Of Peace Academy district in Minnesota operates three schools: Community of Peace Academy Elementary, Community of Peace Academy Middle, and Community of Peace Academy High School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and are located in a community with high poverty levels.

Based on the data, none of the schools within the Community Of Peace Academy district appear to be standout performers. All three schools consistently score well below the state average on key metrics such as math and reading proficiency, with only 12.63% of elementary school students proficient or better in these subjects compared to the state averages of 45.21% and 49.59%, respectively. The middle and high schools also struggle, with math and reading proficiency ranging from 8-28% and 15-37%, respectively, far below the state averages of 40-57%.

The schools' low performance is further reflected in their statewide rankings, with the elementary school ranking in the bottom 5% of Minnesota elementary schools, the middle school in the bottom 15%, and the high school in the bottom 25% of Minnesota high schools. These rankings have remained consistently low over the past three school years. Additionally, the schools have very high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 82.72% to 86.94%, indicating a high percentage of students from low-income families. The relatively high student-teacher ratios, ranging from 14.8 to 18.5 students per teacher, may also suggest challenges in providing individualized attention and support to students.
