Summary:
Elementary schools in the Twin Cities International Schools area consist of a single school: Twin Cities International Schools, a K–5 school with 595 students in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Because it is the only elementary school in this data set, there are no peer schools in the area to compare it against; the most meaningful comparisons are to its district, Twin Cities International Schools, the state of Minnesota, and its own prior-year results.
The school serves a high-need population, with 99.33% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch in 2024–25 and a student/teacher ratio of 15.1. Statewide, the district ranks 389th of 458 in Minnesota (15th percentile, 1 star), and the school ranked 736th of 869 in 2025–26, also at the 15th percentile with 1 star. In 2025–26, proficiency was 31.1% in math, 25.5% in reading, and 11.2% in science, compared with state averages of 44.9%, 48.6%, and 25.5%. Reading is the widest and most consistent gap, at 23.4% in 3rd grade, 28.0% in 4th grade, and 25.2% in 5th grade, versus 46.8%, 48.8%, and 54.5% statewide. Fifth grade math stands out as an internal warning sign: 12.1% proficient against a state figure of 41.9%, well below the school's 3rd and 4th grade math results of 42.1% and 38.9%.
Year over year, math slipped from 34.5% to 31.1% and reading from 28.53% to 25.5%, while state performance stayed largely flat — so these declines are not simply part of a statewide trend. Science improved from 2.8% to 11.2%, a real gain but still far below the state's 25.5%. Over three years the school has remained in the bottom fifth of Minnesota schools, with percentile ranks between 14 and 19 and a 1-star rating each year. Overall, this is a high-need school with persistent low proficiency, where 3rd and 4th grade math are the relative bright spots and reading, 5th grade math, and science are the largest areas of concern.
