Twin Cities International Schools

The Twin Cities International Schools district in Minnesota operates two schools - an elementary school (Twin Cities International Schools) and a middle school (MN International Middle Chr School). Both schools are ranked in the bottom quartile of their respective school types within the state, with consistently low performance over the past three school years.

The data shows that both schools struggle academically, with significantly lower proficiency rates in Math and Reading compared to the state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, the overall Math proficiency at Twin Cities International Schools was 34.5% compared to the state average of 45.21%, and the overall Reading proficiency was 28.53% compared to the state average of 49.59%. The middle school, MN International Middle Chr School, also lags behind the state in Math and Reading proficiency, with overall Math proficiency of 15.64% and overall Reading proficiency of 33.13% in 2024-2025.

Both schools have extremely high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, with Twin Cities International Schools at 99.52% and MN International Middle Chr School at 99.4% in 2023-2024, suggesting a high concentration of students from low-income families. This may contribute to the challenges these schools face in providing a high-quality education and addressing the unique needs of their student populations.
