Summary:
Elementary Schools located in Midway Star Academy come down to a single school: Midway Star Academy, a K–8 school at 1091 Snelling Avenue North in Saint Paul, Minnesota, with 393 students, which doubles as its own district (Midway Star Academy), so there are no other schools to compare it against. Because the grade span runs from kindergarten through 8th grade, state testing in grades 3 through 8 produces six grade levels of proficiency data. The school holds a 1-star rating in every year of data and its district ranks in the bottom quartile statewide (348 of 458, 24th percentile).
Reading is the relative bright spot. In 2025‑2026, 8th-grade reading was 53.3% proficient versus 50% statewide (a gap of +3.3 points) and 6th-grade reading was 55.9% versus 53.4% (+2.5 points) — the only places the school beats the state. At All Grades, reading reached 38.2% (state 48.6%), math 23.8% (state 44.9%), and science 6% (state 25.5%). Science is the deepest concern: 3.3% in 8th grade versus 16.7% statewide is the lowest figure in the data set. Fifth-grade math (5.6%) and 6th-grade math (8.8%) are also far below their state benchmarks and under 10% proficiency.
Every subject improved year over year while state averages slipped slightly — math +2.4 points, reading +4.2, science +0.8 — so the gaps to the state narrowed in all three. Context matters: 99.75% of students are eligible for free or reduced lunch and the student-teacher ratio is 19.4 to 1, roughly one teacher for every 19–20 students. Grade-level results swing widely in both directions, which likely reflects small per-grade cohorts rather than a consistent schoolwide pattern, so any single grade figure should be read as volatile.
