Summary:

Twin Cities Academy is the sole public charter high school serving grades 6-12 in the Twin Cities Academy District, which is ranked 404 out of 446 districts in Minnesota and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Twin Cities Academy is facing significant academic and performance challenges. The school's standardized test scores in math, reading, and science are well below the statewide averages, with only 12.6% of students proficient or better in math and 26.23% proficient or better in reading across all grades. The school's four-year graduation rate of 84.2% and dropout rate of 4.4% are also areas of concern. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined from 302 out of 476 Minnesota high schools in 2022-2023 to 400 out of 480 in 2023-2024 and 401 out of 450 in 2024-2025.

The high percentage of students (69.6%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests that Twin Cities Academy serves a predominantly low-income population, which may contribute to the school's academic challenges and the need for additional support and resources. Overall, the data indicates that the school is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students and may require targeted interventions and support to improve educational outcomes.
