Summary:
Midway Star Academy is the sole public charter school serving grades K-8 in the Midway Star Academy district, with 421 students enrolled. Based on the available data, this school does not appear to be a standout performer, consistently ranking in the bottom half of elementary schools in Minnesota over the past three years.
Midway Star Academy has struggled academically, with proficiency rates on standardized tests well below the state average in both math and reading across all grade levels. The school's statewide ranking has declined from 633 out of 845 elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 757 out of 872 in 2024-2025, indicating that it is falling behind other schools in the state. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 98.81% in 2023-2024, suggesting that it serves a predominantly low-income population.
The data also reveals potential staffing challenges, with a student-teacher ratio of 24.8, which is higher than the state average. This may be contributing to the school's struggles in providing a high-quality education to its students. Overall, the information suggests that Midway Star Academy is a struggling school that is not meeting the academic needs of its students, and significant improvements and interventions may be necessary to ensure that students receive the education they deserve.
