Summary:
Schools in Twin Cities International Schools include two schools serving grades K–8 in Minneapolis, MN: Twin Cities International Schools — Elementary for K–5, with 595 students, and MN International Middle Chr School for grades 6–8, with 326 students, totaling 921 students, with no high schools in this data. The Twin Cities International Schools district is ranked 389 of 458 in Minnesota—15th percentile, 1 star—and both schools also have 1-star ratings. Nearly all students are economically disadvantaged: free/reduced lunch is 99.33% at the elementary school and 99.39% at the middle school.
In 2025–2026, both schools trail Minnesota in every tested subject. The elementary school has 31.1% math, 25.5% reading, and 11.2% science, compared with the district’s 26.5%, 27.6%, and 9.6% and the state’s 44.9%, 48.6%, and 25.5%. The middle school has 22.0% math, 29.7% reading, and 8.0% science. The elementary school is stronger in math and science, while the middle school is stronger in reading. Grade-level results show a sharp elementary math drop: 42.1% in 3rd grade and 38.9% in 4th grade fall to 12.1% in 5th grade. The middle school’s 8th-grade reading is 36%, the highest reading result in the data set, but 8th-grade science is 8%.
Year over year, the elementary school’s science rose from 2.8% to 11.2% (+8.4 points), and the middle school’s math rose from 15.64% to 22.0% (+6.36 points), though both gains start from low levels. Reading declined at both schools and across the district. The middle school’s percentile rank improved from 15th to 18th to 22nd over three years, while the elementary school’s rank went from 14th to 19th to 15th. The middle school’s student-teacher ratio is 29.6, nearly double the elementary school’s 15.1. For parents, the key takeaway is that this small K–8 district serves an almost entirely high-need population and remains well below state averages, with science the clearest shared weakness.
