Summary:
Sojourner Truth Academy is the only elementary school in the Sojourner Truth Academy district in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and it serves 383 students across grades PK–8 — which means there are no peer schools in this area to compare against, only state averages and the school's own year-over-year results.
By nearly every measure, the school performs far below Minnesota benchmarks. Its district ranks 454th out of 458 districts, in the 1st percentile with 0 stars, and the school has stayed in the bottom 1st–4th percentile of Minnesota schools for three consecutive years. In 2025–2026, all-grade proficiency was 7% in math (state: 44.9%), 9.9% in reading (state: 48.6%), and 1.1% in science (state: 25.5%). The prior year looked similar: math 5.76% versus 45.21% statewide, reading 11.49% versus 49.59%, and science 0% versus 26.15%. Gaps versus the state run roughly 24 to 39 percentage points. About 91.91% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, a sign of high economic need, while the student-teacher ratio is not reported in this data set.
Science is the weakest subject area, with 0% proficiency at 5th grade and only 2.4% at 8th grade versus 16.7% statewide. The school's relative bright spots are still below state averages: 3rd-grade math at 20.5% (state: 57.9%), 8th-grade reading at 14% (state: 50%), and 8th-grade science at 2.4%. The widest grade-level gaps appear in 6th-grade reading (3.6% vs. 53.4%), 4th-grade math (7% vs. 55.2%), and 5th-grade reading (10.9% vs. 54.5%). Overall, reading tends to edge out math, and both far outpace science, but every subject and grade level remains well below state averages.
