Summary:
The Team Academy area has one elementary school, Team Academy, serving grades PK–6 in Waseca, MN, with 101 students. It is also its own district, Team Academy, so the area and school data are the same. The school has a 1-star rating and a district rank of 379 out of 458 (17th percentile). Recent statewide school ranks are also in the bottom quartile: 682 of 869 in 2025–2026, 664 of 872 in 2024–2025, and 735 of 881 in 2023–2024. For context, 81.19% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, and the student-teacher ratio was 5.6:1.
In 2025–2026, proficiency is below the state in every reported subject and grade. All-grade math is 29.8% versus 44.9% statewide, reading is 31.9% versus 48.6%, and science is 20% versus 25.5%. Reading has the largest all-grade gap, and both math and reading declined from 2024–2025. Science is the clear bright spot, improving from 10% to 20% while the state rate slightly declined, narrowing the gap from -16.15 to -5.5 percentage points. Third grade is the strongest relative grade level, with math at 50% versus 57.9% and reading at 40% versus 46.8%. Sixth grade is the most acute weakness, with math at 0% versus 39.5% and reading at 20% versus 53.4%.
For parents, the key takeaway is that Team Academy serves a small, high-need population and consistently receives 1 star with bottom-quartile rankings. The low student-teacher ratio may allow individualized attention, but it has not yet translated into proficiency at or above state averages. With only 101 students in PK–6, grade-level percentages can swing widely from year to year because each tested grade likely has a small cohort. Science gains are encouraging, while reading and upper-grade math remain the clearest areas needing support.
