Achieve Language Academy

There is one school in this area: Achieve Language Academy, a PK–8 school in Saint Paul, Minnesota serving 451 students. It is also its own Achieve Language Academy district, so district and school results are identical. About 81.15% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and the student-teacher ratio is 13.1, suggesting relatively modest class sizes. Because this is the only school in the list, there are no neighboring schools to compare it with — the meaningful comparison is to statewide averages.

Reading is the school's strongest subject: 29.1% of students met proficiency in 2025–2026, well ahead of math at 14.2% and science at 9.7%. All three, however, trail state averages of 48.6% in reading, 44.9% in math, and 25.5% in science. Reading results were strongest in 6th grade (36.2%), 5th grade (34.7%), and 8th grade (32.6%). Math slips steadily by grade, from 19.1% in 3rd grade down to 9.3% in 8th grade, with every grade level below the state by at least 23.5 points. Science was 10.2% in 5th grade and 9.1% in 8th grade, though the 8th-grade gap to the state is narrower because state 8th-grade science proficiency is also comparatively low.

The school is improving from a low base. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, math rose 1.12 points, reading 3.43 points, and science 3.11 points, while state averages dipped slightly, narrowing every gap. Its rank improved from 809th of 872 to 765th of 869, its percentile from 7 to 12, and its star rating from 0 to 1 — still roughly the bottom 12% of ranked Minnesota schools. Test data cover only two years and rank history three, so families should treat the upward trend as encouraging but early.
