Elementary Schools in Twin Cities German Immersion Charter

Elementary schools in the Twin Cities German Immersion Charter district amount to a single school: Twin Cities German Immersion Charter, a K–8 school at 1031 Como Avenue in Saint Paul with 563 students enrolled. Because the district contains only one school, school-level and district-level results are identical, and this is the only option available in this area. The district itself is ranked 35th of 458 districts in Minnesota — the 92nd percentile, with 5 stars — and context metrics show 8.7% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch and a student-teacher ratio of 16.4.

Reading is this school's standout strength. In 2025–2026, all-grade reading proficiency was 68.3% against a statewide 48.6%, and upper-grade results were especially strong: 6th grade at 82.7% versus 53.4% statewide, 7th grade at 77.8% versus 43.5%, and 8th grade at 76.5% versus 50%. Middle-school math is also a clear bright spot, with 6th grade at 54.7% versus 39.5% statewide, 7th grade at 61.9% versus 40.3%, and 8th grade at 60.8% versus 42.3%. Overall, the school outperforms the state in math (51.5% vs. 44.9%), reading (68.3% vs. 48.6%), and science (32.8% vs. 25.5%).

There are areas worth watching. Early-grade math lags the state — 4th grade at 43.8% versus 55.2% and 5th grade at 34.8% versus 41.9%, while 3rd grade is roughly level at 56.7% versus 57.9% — so upper-elementary math may be the place to ask about support. Science is mixed: 5th grade is well above state at 40.9% versus 25.9%, but 8th grade is more modest at 22% versus 16.7%, and all-grade science fell from 46.67% in 2024–2025 to 32.8% in 2025–2026. Finally, school rank history improved from 298th of 872 (66th percentile, 3 stars) in 2024–2025 to 264th of 869 (70th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026, still below its 4-star, 72nd-percentile showing in 2023–2024.
